What Is a Text Editor? And Why Does It Matter to Developers?
If you have Windows, you have access to the default Notepad application installed on your computer.
At some point, you would have used Notepad to replace Microsoft Word. But those who work with code understand that while it looks similar to Microsoft Word in terms of providing a writing space, Notepad can do more.
Most modern systems come with pre-installed basic text editor software like Notepad, and you can use them for more than just taking notes and creating documents.

Question on: Notepad++
What is the best use of Notepad++, except using it as a regular note making tool?
?
We can use it formatting tool for all the supported languages which help a lot in alignment and correct of code which we write generally
I like it for working with large files. It can open files that are too large for Notepad/WordPad. It also opens any large file much faster. Another thing I like are the find and replace with expressions. For example I can paste a few columns of data and do a find/replace that converts CR/LF into tabs or vice versa to do a quick pivot. It also helps that it shows all characters and I can often find hidden characters that are causing import issues. It's really a great tool for anyone manipulating large data extracts.
