What do you like best about Notepad++?

It's impressively lightweight and quick to start up. The syntax highlighting greatly enhances code readability, and the customization options let me tailor the interface to my preferences. I also appreciate the multi-language support and the powerful regular expression search and replace feature. The tabbed interface makes multitasking a breeze, and the ability to extend its functionality through plugins is a real asset. Macro recording and built-in FTP capabilities save me time and effort.

What do you dislike about Notepad++?

Notepad++ is restricted to Windows, leaving macOS and Linux users out of the loop. While it excels in coding, it's not designed for graphic-intensive tasks. Lack of collaboration features and advanced project management tools could be limiting for team projects. Although it's my go-to for smaller tasks, handling complex projects can be a bit challenging due to the absence of comprehensive IDE features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
