Notepad++ Reviews

Notepad++ is suitable for all scripting languages and can be used to write and edit all types of code, like scripts and configuration files. It is easy and free to use, which makes it a valuable asset for programmers and IT specialists in general.

Sometimes I miss the terminal feature like in Powershell or Visual Studio, where I could check the code without implementing it in the environment. Such a testing feature is almost a must-have, and because Notepad++ doesn't have it I sometimes chose other scripting solutions.

The "search in files" and "replace in files" feature is very good. File recovery is very good at keeping the file you forgot to save in memory. The "Mark" feature is also very useful. You can easily filter the source code (especially multi-line) by marking certain code snippets or functions.

More integration options can be added. The feature of automatically opening newly created files "in the following encoding" can be added. each time, we need to change the file encoding property to UTF-8 BOM.

It is open source editor that means is useful for a small company or single person.

It is a bit hard to handle two or more files and some plugins are too hard for integration.

It is easy to switch between programing languages, and also work in column mode

nothing specific to mention I dislike, it is a great and versatile tool

Lots of language syntax highlighting, great themes, cheap, and little memory consumption during execution.

No theme marketplace and module references across scripts are rare, function type declarations also aren’t visible in the IDE

I love the look and feel of Notepad++ the most. When you switch over from the native Microsoft Notepad it is a world of difference.

It feels like it requests an update pretty frequently but that is a small nitpick.

I use notepad ++ every day for my taking notes. UI is pretty and very simple for all user. Useful feature for me is automatic save when we close the software. I can chage the font size, theme colors and import coding. The best thing is that it is free. And then search and replace files make me enjoy. For devloper, it includes many useful features like code import, scripting, HTML,CSS,etc...

There is nothing. I enjoy to use notepad ++. It is very useful function, features than microsoft notepad.

I use Notepad++ daily for notes. The most important to me that in one window I can work with multiple files in different tabs. It increases my productivity.

Cons: works only on Windows platform. And also one downside that it doesn't detect mistakes.

The best thing about this is that I can run macros and it supports XML. Makes my work faster.

Notepad++ has just so many features that I feel like I'm not using all that I could. Perhaps I need to take classes to use it to its full potential.

It has many great qualities, including tabbed editing, default settings, session backup settings, file associations and more. It actually many more features than you will probably use!

The large number of features can be a bit overwhelming and a lot to get used to.

Best tool to get the text edited in any format and in the best format possible including xml, json, .class. Very simple design and great functionality. Backup and recovery is also well done and support is great

I really like using this app. Can not think of any drawback.

Its is a free text code editor and User friendly Interface that supports various languages like C ,C++,Java, JavaScript, HTML, CSS
I have noticed Notepad++ supports Multi-View and Multi-Tab Interface, allowing me to tackle multiple files at once. it helps me to boost my overall productivity

I have noticed that the options which are customizing the user interface of Notepad++ are somewhat limited compared.

Its the best tool to clean your junk of codes.

Code modification will be easy for the technical to do for small changes

Working the Notepad++ must require some additional knowledge on the coloring and formatting techniques

Mostly I like code highlighting, themes, auto backups, plugins, performance, ability to work with huge files, flexible search/replace with regex support.

Some plugins don't have 64-bit version. NPP is not full replacement of IDE, it has no advanced debug features, but for scripting languages is has all that I need.

I am not a developer, but sometimes have to open files with code. I have often used Notepad++ to edit and merge Markdown files.

It's easy to use and the different colors help visualize what you are working with. There are many features I did not even use, but they never got in the way of the user experience.

Honestly can't think of anything, as the tool is free and delivered on what I needed it for with no tweaking whatsoever. As such, I hope to offer the perspective of a user who is not necessarily a hardcore techie.

It's filter and search function to replace a string of text or look for hidden codes in normal files

Some of the plugins don't work and won't get updated.

Ease of use, ability to open nearly everything, search and marking features.

None, this product does everything I need it to do.

It's very easy to use and very simple to understand the tool. Here I am learn learn Python basic coding it's very useful for me to learn Python programming language.

I am using Notepad++ for only for learn python, my side opinion no drawbacks have in Notepad++.

Simple elegant file management via tabsGreat regex find/replaceFar superior, and just as plug and play as notepad

oh if only it had fontswish i was more aware of education and training materials
