If you’re looking for one of those perfect tools for your developer toolbox, look no further!
I’ve been using Notepad++ since 2007 and from the onset, I never had to go out of my way to learn how to use Notepad++.
The main reasons I love this app is because it leverages the Win32 API and STL and that ensures an extremely high execution speed (performance) and it is very small in terms of size but man, does it pack a punch!
You’ll enjoy features such as syntax highlighting and styling, to automatic code detection and interpretation, to auto-completion or ‘intellisense’ for you .NET folks and SVN control and that is just to name a few. If I named all of the cool yet extremely effective features…I’d run out of space :)
Check it out for yourselves, folks. Download Notepad++ directly from the Notepad++ site.
