    I once wrote C# code in MS Word because the only other option was Notepad.

        It was school work. All I needed was some proper visual indentations and a monospaced font.

          Right, so Notepad.

          The indentations in Word won’t be “proper;” they’re based on physical dimensions, not characters.

            Like I said, all I needed was visual indentation. C# doesn’t have significant whitespaces. As long as you account for all of the braces and semicolons, you could write an entire program in a single line.

      I was there, Gandalf, 3000 years ago, writing my first html code in notepad. And I was happy about that.

      I wrote some code with ed once. It had a nice, calm insanity to it.

      I honestly don’t understand how notepad is a worse alternative to word.

      Word is great for formatting documents but not code.
