While on the topic of Notepad, I figured it is only appropriate if I make yet another suggestion for a replacement program. In the past I have pointed to both EditPad and jEdit as a simple text editor and programmer’s editor, respectively. Today, I am referring to another popular program which does a good job at both.
Notepad++ is a great combination of both a simple text editor and a programmer’s editor. It offers many of the advanced features of jEdit, such as folding, syntax highlighting and auto-complete… all while loading reasonably fast. Additionally, Notepad++ has built in Windows right-click menu integration to make it easy to open files.
I’ve starting using this more and more as my primary editor over both EditPad and jEdit (still fantastic programs), so give it a shot.
