"Lightning-Fast Performance and Essential Plugins for Power Users"
What do you like best about Notepad++?

It opens instantly and handles massive text files (GBs in size) without lagging. The Regex-based Find/Replace and the plugin ecosystem (specifically the Compare plugin) are critical for my daily workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notepad++?

The User Interface is a bit outdated I’d say and lacks the modern polish of VS Code. It is also strictly a Windows-first application, lacking native support for macOS or Linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for coding"
What do you like best about Notepad++?

What I like it that it simulates a programing class and you can select the language you are typing so it shows the colors for that specific language.

It make easy to keep track on your edits thanks to the tabs option and you can rename each tab so you never loose track. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Notepad++?

Sometimes it seems to simple, it's hard to find specific text within the code and some expand/collapse text options are not always available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
