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
It's snappier and more private than VSCode at the very least.
idk why people don’t just use codium instead
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.
