What is Notepad++?
Notepad++ is a free source code editor and Notepad replacement that supports several languages.
Based on the powerful editing component Scintilla, Notepad++ is written in C++ and uses pure Win32 API and STL which ensures a higher execution speed and smaller program size. By optimizing as many routines as possible without losing user friendliness, Notepad++ is trying to reduce the world carbon dioxide emissions. When using less CPU power, the PC can throttle down and reduce power consumption, resulting in a greener environment.

Comments and Reviews
I use Notepad++, and have for years. I love it! Couldn't ask for a better text editor with some advanced features beyond the standard Notepad.
I used to love this editor until the developer decided to push his personal/political stance through one of his updates. I won't go into details, but I found it unacceptable. Believe what you want, but don't shove it down my throat!
Notepad++ is my go-to tool for both coding and general text work. I’m probably way too old school. I’ve tried other code editors several times - e,g, the much praised Visual Studio Code - but I always came back to Notepad++. I’ve been using it for 20 years. There are also plenty of plugins, but to be honest, I don’t use any of them.
One of the only Windows-exclusive applications that is actually good.
This is my go to text editor, I have been using it for many years. What I like - Tons of features, Customizable. The spellcheck plugin also works great.
Simple, get the job done. Quite ugly.
A really nice application for code editing. I use it all the time with my HTML projects and gets the job done perfectly!
