In my opinion, Sublime Text is a little bit better for coding based applications, specifically with like HTML and CSS, even though Notepad++ is great for it too, but just for overall drag and drop replace, works with everything, wonderful, free and open source software, it is very, very difficult to beat Notepad++.
Agreed, coming from regular Notepad there’s a lot going on there. The whole point of Notepad was a quick and dirty text editor. If I needed that many options for what I’m writing I’ll just fire up Word instead.
Never used Sublime Text but just from the screenshots on their site looks like the only real difference is the menu bars? Do you have to reference the documentation to look up keyboard shortcuts on all the stuff you don’t do often?

Fair, I just don’t like how cluttered Notepad++ feels.
I’ve never heard of notepad++ being referred to as cluttered before. It’s fairly spartan in my opinion.
Cluttered compared to Notepad or Sublime Text.

That’s why I like Sublime - it’s powerful enough to be my main code editor, and clean enough to jot down some quick notes.
Huh, never heard of Sublime before. I’ll give that a try!
The developer is also Australian, so it’s still a good option if you’re boycotting US products.
Some people would call that “functionality”.
Sublime Text has all that functionality and more without stealing precious screen space from your valuable text.

No, it’s not vi.
Price wise sublime text isn’t that great unless you are coding with it.
