Notepad++ reviews

A Powerful Yet Lightweight Text Editor for Every Developer's Toolkit!

Opmerkingen: Overall, Notepad++ has been a fantastic experience. Its lightweight design ensures that it loads quickly and doesn't consume much system resources, allowing me to work efficiently on various projects. Despite some minor drawbacks, it has proved to be a reliable and powerful tool in my developer toolkit, and I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a comprehensive text editor.

Pluspunten:

As a small business owner with a tech background, I found Notepad++ to be an incredibly versatile and efficient text editor. I particularly appreciated the syntax highlighting and folding for a wide variety of programming languages, which saved me a considerable amount of time while coding. The built-in plugins and customizability allowed me to tailor the software to my specific needs, making it an indispensable tool in my daily work.

Minpunten:

While Notepad++ is feature-rich and powerful, its user interface could use some improvement in terms of visual appeal and intuitiveness. Additionally, it is only available for Windows operating systems, which might be a limitation for users on other platforms.

Coding was never been easy

Opmerkingen: Its very easy IDE to use for my eyes even if i am using it at night or daylight. Its easy with update functionalities for back-end and front-end users. It includes the most classes pre-defined which will be limited in other same products or need to be imported. Sometimes i don’t have internet connections so i would not be stuck for any class or library.

Pluspunten:

I like the backup and recover first to save my progress, the IDE is a home platform where you work i like the environment however i want i can change it the theme colors, fonts, size. And specially the classes to import while coding i may not have internet connection but notepad++ helps us to overcome this segment in most cases. in back-end or front-end development.

Minpunten:

Uhm overall i liked the platform compare to other platforms i used before its not limited and is a complete comprehensive IDE and including most libraries and classes for developer, ease of their/our work. So far i don’t see any particular segment to not like or like least about notepad++.

Don't lose your work

Opmerkingen: My overall experience with Notepad++ is, It is a very useful editor for beginners for developing their coding skills because in other editors when we write a one-two character of the command it writes complete command and we could not realize all of the commands and key words.

Pluspunten:

Simple of it the notepad++ is simple to use and easy for understanding and also suitable for beginners for improving their coding skills.

Minpunten:

In Notepad++ color coding is not created code and I think it was not interesting to users.

Notepad++ is a must-have text editing tool

Opmerkingen: Overall, Notepad++ is an extremely reliable tool that is perfect for anyone who needs a powerful text editor. Its intuitive interface, extensive feature set, and support for multiple programming languages make it a wonderfl choice among program developers.

Pluspunten:

I use Notepad++ everyday at work. I use it mainly for writing programs and codes. Notepad++ is a powerful text editor that I recommed it to whoever spends a significant amount of time on text editing and coding. Notepad++ makes your life easier. It is completely free to download and use. It is also open-source, which means that users can customize and modify the source code as per their specific needs.Furthermore, Notepad++ is a lightweight application that doesn't take up too much space on your computer. One of the standout features of Notepad++ is its robust syntax highlighting, which supports over 50 programming and markup languages. This feature allows me to quickly and easily identify different parts of my code, and therefore making editing and debugging much easier.Another important feature is the ability to use multiple tabs, allowing users to work on multiple files without having to switch between them manually.

Minpunten:

There are no specific cons for Notepad++. The only thing I can mention is that compared to an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), Notepad++ comes with limited features. I do not consider this as a disadvantage, since it is free and naturally it is not developed as an IDE. I enjoy using Notepad++ at work. It totally worth it, I recommend it to everyone who needs a text editing tool.

Notepad++ is a powerful and highly customizable text editor that offers advanced features.

Opmerkingen: Overall, Notepad++ is a powerful and highly customizable text editor that offers advanced features for programmers. Its limited platform support and lack of collaboration features make it less suitable for team projects. However, its simplicity and lightweight design make it an excellent choice for personal use.

Pluspunten:

Notepad++ is very lightweight. It does not consume too many system resources. We can customize the interface according to preferences, such as color schemes and syntax highlighting. It supports a wide range of programming languages including C, C++, Java, HTML, XML, and more. Notepad++ offers advanced features like macros, regular expressions, and plug-ins that can be used to automate and extend its functionality.

Minpunten:

Notepad++ is only available for Windows operating systems. It does not offer advanced collaboration features that can be useful in team projects. Some of its advanced features may have a steep learning curve for novice users.

Best Notepad replacement

Opmerkingen: The best in its category. It's also open-source so no surprises in the code, and it can easily be used as the default Notepad replacement. Highly recommend it over anything else.

Pluspunten:

I've replaced my default Notepad with Notepad++. It's an excellent text editor, I use it for taking notes, keeping multiple tabs open with different information. I like it best for re-opening those same tabs with the same information after I restart my computer, so its automated backup works like a charm and saved me a lot of times.

Minpunten:

Nothing, it's one of the few programs that I install first after I reinstall my system. Offers much more than the default Notepad that comes with Windows. Maybe its list of plugins could be better but that's a very minor inconvenient.

Best Source Code

Opmerkingen: Overall experience is very Good. Easy to use easy to understand. Easily access text files. Notepad++ is a powerful code editing tool. Highly advanced version. Sometimes it lagging while owning a large text file.Free and open source software. Easy to install

Pluspunten:

Notepad++ is used to develop a code for application. Easy to use. Easy to find the error while run the code it's highlighting with red color. Easy to access the code using the colors and tags.

Minpunten:

Notepad++ is easy to lean and understand the code so it is good choice for the beginners

Notepad++ Review

Opmerkingen: Overall experience is great about the product. Every developer working with any language can use it on daily basis.

Pluspunten:

Quite simple, useful, and user-friendly product. Highly recommended for text files or any files with different extensions.

Minpunten:

Nothing as such.

The easiest tool to develop some code

Pluspunten:

Fast startup of the application and easiness of use to update in adminstrator mode and fast editing and saving changes

Minpunten:

The user interface needs to be more vibrant and colorful.Also keyboard shortcuts should be usable to edit and comment block of code

Software for speed

Opmerkingen: Great more conveninet and time saver and easy to use.

Pluspunten:

i am using it more than 2 years . I like the most because it save my time and easy to use while i writing script in it . easy to edit we can open multiple file at a time also the interface of the software is very easy for everone.

Minpunten:

i find keyword shortcuts need to learn in it.

Excellent tool for programming, and more!

Opmerkingen: I use Notepad++ for programming, but since the Search & Replace tool is so good, I have very often used it for other kinds of tasks too. For example, doing batch modifications to CSV files. Very easy to use once you find out where everything is.

Pluspunten:

Notepad++ is an excellent tool for writing code. I like how the code is highlighted, how the search and other options work. There are just so many little well-thought details that make this a great application.

Minpunten:

Nothing really. The icon could be more modern if I have to answer something. :D

Super Simple, Super Snappy and Super Sturdy!

Opmerkingen: Notepad++ is *the* essential tool for anyone wanting more than regular Notepad AND less than bloated and sluggish text editors like VS Code, Atom, and the whole slew of "modern" Electron-based editors. While it doesn't have the most modern look, lacks some features and QoL improvements that are expected in today's digital environment, it excels with its super fast startup times, dead simple text editing features suited for coding, doesn't feel bloated or gets in the way of your flow, is lightweight and snappy, and packs a slew of cool features that might be a bit hidden at first, but once you know where to look or need them, they pack lots of power :) And while I do wish it would get a graphical upgrade, it should not come at the cost of its speed, simplicity and performance. Until someone manages to make an alternative that's like VS Code in features and look and feel, BUT with Notepad++'s speed and performance, I'm sticking with N++ for now :)

Pluspunten:

The blazing fast startup speeds, the simple yet flexible UI and features, the code highlighting in so many languages, and the ease of writing code in a dead simple environment that is lightweight, fast and doesn't get in the way of getting to develop your cool ideas 😇 I also love how it keeps all the files open, even unsaved ones, so that you're able to jot down stuff quickly or paste code snippets without losing them when closing Notepad++ :) Also, it has some really handy keyboard shortcuts for essential stuff that I now can't live without in other text editors, like CTRL+D to duplicate line :D

Minpunten:

While the native GUI allows for a snappy and fast-booting experience, there can be some "archaic" features or "outdated" ways of doing things, or outright some essential QoL features missing that are ubiquitous in the modern dev era. While most aren't an issue, the biggest drawback that I experience is that code hinting can become rather slow in a large codebase, as the dropdown menu "stutters" for every single letter typed, and you'd think such a trivial matter would have better performance. But it's not an issue as it only happens sometimes, and it pales in the face of every other pro :)

A simple all around text editor

Opmerkingen: I have used Notepad++ for note-taking and code editing in embedded systems. For text note-taking, it is probably the best resource out there and I have used it both professionally and personally. As for embedded systems, it was quite useful to edit my code with such a lightweight software instead of a bigger IDE such as PyCharm or CLion.

Pluspunten:

Notepad++ is free and is being constantly kept up to date. It can be used to edit code, take notes, write reports, etc. It is probably the best option to write a text draft. It has multiple powerful and diverse extensions. One could replace both Word and any IDE with Notepad++. It's ability to save files internally is probably it's best feature.

Minpunten:

It is quite a jack-of-all-trades, but a master at nothing. The fact that it is free is evident. One cannot execute it's code from the IDE. Although it is possible to write code, it does not correct you efficiently when a mistake is done.

NotePad++ Checks All The Boxes

Opmerkingen: We've been using NotePad++ for 15 years now, and it's become our staple for everyday coding.

Pluspunten:

We use NotePad++ every single day coding our internal CMS systems. Everything we use is custom built in-house, and NotePad++ is our editor of choice. The language strings are clearly defined (the colors are super nice), and the customizable ability of literally everything (including viewpoint) is easy to implement and toggle. We even have added additional SpellCheck settings which have helped (the default is British). Their backup methods is amazing, too - literally able to keep a core backup of every file for iterations upon saving.

Minpunten:

Practically nothing. Very rarely the software crashes when you load a new file, but thankfully that's super rare - and it's only upon upload (so no changes have been made yet).

Notepad++ review

Opmerkingen: I use Notepad++ to edit the code, quickly find and replace text (sometimes with regular expressions) for many years and I didn't yet find a better alternative.

Pluspunten:

Probably the best free text editor on the open-source market. Notepadd+ has almost fully customizable GUI, tabbed interface, supports plugins, lots of supported programming languages (highlighting the code syntax), text encodings, autocomplete, find and replace text (also with regex), export and import to various formats, autosave changes, undo/redo and many many more wonderful capabilities.

Minpunten:

Notepad++ has not to many things to complain. Maybe GUI looks a bit outdated. The number of features/options are overwhelming sometimes and require to search for a certain function.

Great free text editor with font limitations and a less than modern look

Opmerkingen: Notepad++ increased the productivity of my small studio by having a free, fast, and lightweight tool to use that always got the job done compared to other free applications such as Notepad(cannot open large files) and Wordpad(for writing documents, not code). The macros and different styles of multi-selection saved me a lot of time when doing repetitive tasks. It was great for me for modifying files such as HTML, JS, CSS without having to download specific software. As long as the user has an idea about the programming language, for small changes and IDE is not required and this is where Notepad++ comes into play. The interface is a drawback but I just went along with it. The backups saved me a few times (can specify to auto-backup every few seconds!). Notepad++ is also my note writing program due to the tabbing system they have.

Pluspunten:

I've been using Notepad++ for around 8 or more years and I don't see myself moving away from it anytime soon. I can't remember a time when I thought Notepad++ was not a good choice. It's an amazingly sturdy text editor with support for an enormous amount of programming and markup languages yet very lightweight and on top of everything, completely free! Working with a lot of log files my first goto software to open them was the usual Notepad which quickly reminded me that big text files will just freeze it. Notepad++ however doesn't have any of those issues. It's like Window's Notepad on steroids. Plugins are a big thing in Notepad++ but I must admit I never found any reason to use them. For extensive work however I'm sure they can come in handy. Notepad++ excels at automating repetitive tasks with the use of the Macro feature and column mode. This made fixing spreadsheets really easy. It can also be easily integrated in WinSCP for small changes in remote files and even if the connection drops, Notpad++ will have backups of the files. The tab support is very handy especially that as a browser, it can be selected to open up with the same tabs as last time. The automatic backup is invaluable for unlucky situations. At some point my computer crashed and next time I opened Notepad++ the tabs were gone to my despair (had very useful info in them and I had no idea where they were saved) but I quickly found them in the backup folder.

Minpunten:

The font limitations are somewhat of a problem as these can only be changed globally. I have yet to find a way (and I did search quite some time) how I could make certain text in Bold or Italic. The average answer I find redirects me to use different software because Notepad++ "is just a text editor" when it has more features than some paid IDEs. The interface of Notepad++ looks very outdated making the program look like a Windows 98 application even though it gets updated very frequently. On top of this, the icons under the toolbar for quick actions are very small. Still related to the interface, even though it's customizable up to some degree, it feels very cluttered. A lot of features stacked side by side that most people will probably never use. The menu with drop down submenus is also huge containing out of the box things like "Encoding" , "Run", "Window" and my favourite "?" which has the about section, the API section and other program related FAQ buttons. Again, related to the interface, some dropdown menus have huge options in them making the dropdown menu ridiculously wide. Updates are good, right? Well not if the software wants to update every 3 days! Out of the box, Notepad++ would like to update at least 2 times a week and when working on different devices at different rates, the update pop-up can become downright annoying. This can be disabled however. I have not found a way to adjust the frequency it looks for updates so right now it's either On or Off.

Great document editor and search tool

Opmerkingen: This replaced my previous paid editor, great tool, fast and useful.

Pluspunten:

Sometimes you have to edit a really large file, and nothing else will open it, well Notepad++ will. I had documents that my previous text editor just couldn't handle [well not without a lot of waiting and screaming], Notepad++ handles them with ease. I use it as a task management tool as well as an easy text editor. Also Windows doesn't always search all files when you do a search, you can use Notepad++ to do a complete search of a folder/s to find text in files.

Minpunten:

Not the prettiest of editors, but fully featured, and updates itself when needed.

Not a simple Text Editor

Opmerkingen: This is my preferred tool for daily activities. I use it to compare 2 text files (something really useful), also to take notes (as the primary objective of this tool), to read code (it has support to several coding languages), to read JSON files (by far, my preferred functionality).

Pluspunten:

There's a large number of really useful features in this application that can serve many different use purposes. The three major strengths I see in this tool are: - The powerful onboard features (check how many options are there on the default menu bar. The search function is really flexible, with the mark functionality onboard that help us to identify words or even lines to be fully replaced or deleted). Another really nice one is the shift+alt+click functionality to make dynamic selection of texts. Also, special mention to the auto-save feature of multiple files (usually, I keep on more than 30 opened files at same time). - The facility to install and start using it (it is straight forward as any text editor should be) and, the stability combined with low use of system resources (as earlier mentioned, even with +30 opened files simultaneously, performance never drops). - The large variety of available plugins that make it this tool capable to assume many different roles such as a text editor, a JSON file analyzer, a XML analyzer, a code editor, a two-text files comparison tool...

Minpunten:

For some features, we have so many options that it may be confusing for new users. For instance, I keep on forgetting how to mark and delete some lines because despite the mark functionality appears on the search bar, the remove functionality is hidden under search-bookmark option.

Partner in the Journey of text editing to coding

Opmerkingen: Overall existence is good for a senior developers for making your junior better than you but not recommended at this time also

Pluspunten:

Before smart coding tool we have notepd++ as our coding partner where we learn very strict coding, after comes smart tool we are left behind by notepad++ but it make our journey very grateful because of notepad we are learning every aspect of our programming language and we need to focus for not make mistake while coding and this is the best thing about notepad, at that time it is totally free and open source so everyone can use this and learn and work in coding, talk about feature so notepad not have such a great but want to start strict coding then you can go with this

Minpunten:

The most disliked thing is it is not smart so that you need to continuously watch your code to not make mistakes and this is hard after a large number of code, it is not suggested for your large project also so please this thing in your mind

A must have editor

Opmerkingen: Basically it is more than an editor. It has quite a lot of very useful and important features which overall reduces cost and effort in any industry. The fact it supports a lot of languages makes it even more useful.
I think this is a must have tool.

Pluspunten:

I used Notepad++ almost on daily basis while doing testing of various softwares. It's a very simple to use tool, you don't need any instructions to use it. The interface infact id user friendly. Some of the features which i liked the most The data is saved on the go, you don;t have to save it explicitly. You know how much significance this holds to a software person. Mutiple tabs along with option of multiple views in Notepad++. This is extremely useful while comparing files (ask a tester how it makes life simpler:) ) When testing fixed file formats the highlighting of line and column number is very useful. It also highlights the text selected in the whole file which is another interesting feature. The option to search anything in all the opened files; simple but very important feature. The replace option has extended feature where you can make use of '/n' etc. Syntax highlighting and support for various languages; I had to deal with a lot of XML and HTML files. This tool made my life easy. The support, answers to queries is good and pretty fats.

Minpunten:

There is nothing much which I didn't liked about Notepad++. It's basically an editor and it fulfills all the features a editor should have. If you are using it for programming you'll surely find some difficulties there.

Notepad++ - A Vital Tool

Opmerkingen: I've been using this product for more years than I care to remember. I always install it, first thing, on any new PCs.

Pluspunten:

Notepad++ never fails to deliver! I use it for text editing, data cleaning, coding and more! The plugins allow a lot of versatility, and the ability to choose specific languages is fantastic.

Minpunten:

Notepad++ has no cons. I love it! It's been a valuable companion for decades!

Best free notepad editor I think

Opmerkingen: I have been using the Notepad++ for a few year now, got to know when I started working in EDI, reading, checking EDIFACT messages, which is a plain-text based message format.Turned out, we can write something like macros, more like a smart search, text filtering, line breaking thing.The search option to look in all the opened files is super useful.Convenient tool to edit, simple files, you can use it for various work, what I really love in it, that it allows you to continue your work from where you left it.Works on various platforms too, Linux, Windows, mobile, etc.Small and fast sw. and what is so good, it and the 3rd party add-ins are for free.Supports multilingual options for its interface and spell-checking, these are the reasons so my cons why it is the best alternative to the normal "Notepad".I am writing this rating also in Notepad++ :)

Pluspunten:

Wide and fast search options.Lot of 3rd party tools, that really helps you out when working with files.It is free.Does save the drafts, opens up files too when you have no network (shadow copies I reckon).You can continue your work where you left it.Has free updates, supporting dev. community, educational articles, videos.

Minpunten:

Can not edit .docx, .rtf or other "advanced" text files. Yet it can open them.Opening files from network may be sometimes slow.The icons may not tell much and small.Some plug-ins, features that are provided by 3rd party, should be in the installation image.

Light-weight, minimalistic, yet powerful text editor

Opmerkingen: Notepad++ is a free, light-weight and powerful text editor. It is very easy to install and it also comes with a portable edition. It can open almost any type of text file let it be Java, Python, XML or even JSON. It is very powerful out-of-the-box and its functionality can be extended by installing plugins. It is a must have tool for every developer.

Pluspunten:

Notepad++ supports multiple tabs and the unsaved content is persisted even when the app is closed or shutdown. It supports multiple encoding which is very useful when working with Unicode characters. We can use the document map to easily navigate large piece of code by collapsing and expanding content. When you click on a word, Notepad++ highlights all the occurrences of that word which is very handy to see the places when a variable is used. It supports extended search using regular expressions which is quite useful for editing code and parse logs. We can also compare two files by installing additional plugins.

Minpunten:

The UI looks a bit plain and outdated. It is not a full-fledged IDE and so it lacks support for code auto completion and formatting. Though the UI support themes, there is no dark mode support. And there is no out-of-the-box support for LaTeX and Markdown. Finally, Notepad++ only support text content and it doesn't support multi-media content like images or annotations.

Open Source and Free

Opmerkingen: I can't continually store my custom “programming language” because the default language, after I reopen the program.
If you imply which you would love to use your User Defined Language (some thing you named it) to a report while you first create a brand new report in Notepad++, it doesn’t paintings that way. If you without delay store that report with the extension which you’ve described in Language > Define Your Language, User language: , Ext.: ____, then as quickly as it’s saved, it's going to transfer to the use of that syntax highlighting

Pluspunten:

Submit malicious program reviews and characteristic requests. Hand in bugfixes and patches. Do on-line support. Translate the editor. Share plugins, themes, auto-crowning glory files. Notepad helps you to shop your notes (as textual content files) precisely wherein you need them, and you haven't any one however your working device to reply to approximately the way you organize, copy, or lower back them up. You can migrate your notes to every other app with the aid of using commencing them in any app that is aware textual content files Buy merchandise (which include the reputable Notepad++ thong of all things)

Minpunten:

"It is tough for novices who make errors frequently as there aren't many outside aids while writing code. ... "The interface isn't convincing, the code this is written frequently isn't very seen and really complicated at the beginning sight." "The maximum drawback of Notepad++ is that it's far NOT multiplatform Limited Mobile Experience. The Website Doesn’t Quite Look “Right” Ease-of-Use. Cookie-Cutter Template Selection. Missing Key Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Elements. Limited E-Commerce Functionality.

The fastest text editor I've ever tried

Opmerkingen: With notepad ++ I can edit portions of code very quickly thanks to how light and portable it is.

Pluspunten:

What I like about Notepad ++ is undoubtedly how fast and light it is. I have used it for more than 8 years and I still use it today because it is the lightest application that exists and I have tried to edit portions of code in my documents. It is open source, so it is free to use and has many options to customize the appearance. In addition, it recognizes practically all the programming languages that exist, which makes it the best option to complement the development environment of my computer.

Minpunten:

The only thing I do not like, even though I've used it for many years, is that it still has the same user interface. I would like to see a new interface, more friendly and modern.
