Notepad++ has become a staple in my coding workflow (as a college student studying IT) for a couple of years before I started trying out VS Code, or Visual Studio Code. Nowadays, while I use VS Code for coding, I mostly just use NPP to edit my text files.

So, for both writing and editing text files as well as coding, what are your thoughts on Notepad++ and how well does it deliver as both a text editor and for writing code?

    I don’t code, but n++ is my go to for all text files because for my job I open A LOT of log files. Sometimes with tens of thousands of lines. I don’t need an IDE but I do need a very powerful text editor.
