    I have 200 unsaved notes just waiting in the memory guillotine for when something accidentally wipes them. I salute you, Notepad++.

      It’s so bad but so good. It’s like a poweruser variation of keeping important stuff in the recycle bin.

          If you can’t lose all your work in a freak data corruption incident are you even working?

        My physical notepads aren’t much better, every page is a new context, and despite my best efforts they don’t seem to be in chronological order.

        Todays notes are on top but everything older is “somewhere”.

      I’ve restored my N++ session of unsaved notes from backup more than once.

    NPP is indispensable, it is the Windows killer-app.

    Congrats on the release!

    Congratulations to everyone involved! I don’t use Windows anymore, but when I did, NPP was one of the first things to get installed. Super useful.

    I’ve switched from NPP years ago. Can somebody please explain why it’s so popular?

      It’s

      Free Updated very regularly It has awesome plugins Themes Fantastic search / replace capabilities Support the formatting of a lot of languages Very light weight Keeps open all those files forever and ever

      It’s just very good…

      Think of it as the vlc of txt files

          Because of the snappiness – codium is no faster than code. For me, NPP is used for making single-word changes to a bunch of files in a row–like vim, but a GUI.
