Notepad++ Reviews

Notepad++ is suitable for all scripting languages and can be used to write and edit all types of code, like scripts and configuration files. It is easy and free to use, which makes it a valuable asset for programmers and IT specialists in general.

Sometimes I miss the terminal feature like in Powershell or Visual Studio, where I could check the code without implementing it in the environment. Such a testing feature is almost a must-have, and because Notepad++ doesn't have it I sometimes chose other scripting solutions.

The "search in files" and "replace in files" feature is very good. File recovery is very good at keeping the file you forgot to save in memory. The "Mark" feature is also very useful. You can easily filter the source code (especially multi-line) by marking certain code snippets or functions.

More integration options can be added. The feature of automatically opening newly created files "in the following encoding" can be added. each time, we need to change the file encoding property to UTF-8 BOM.

It is open source editor that means is useful for a small company or single person.

It is a bit hard to handle two or more files and some plugins are too hard for integration.

It is easy to switch between programing languages, and also work in column mode

nothing specific to mention I dislike, it is a great and versatile tool

Lots of language syntax highlighting, great themes, cheap, and little memory consumption during execution.

No theme marketplace and module references across scripts are rare, function type declarations also aren’t visible in the IDE

I have been using Notepad++ to write code in Groovy script for transforming data I get in SAP CPI. So far, it is the best IDE I have used for the purpose. It allows me to maintain the syntax and debug the code easily when compared to the software I was using earlier. It allows for easier and hassle free unit testing.

I think the main issue is that it lacks a lot of features that other IDEs have and I don't know if I will ever pay for it because the value for money does not seem viable.

I love the look and feel of Notepad++ the most. When you switch over from the native Microsoft Notepad it is a world of difference.

It feels like it requests an update pretty frequently but that is a small nitpick.

It's a pretty basic application, but it does the job.

I did not like the recovery/saving function

I use notepad ++ every day for my taking notes. UI is pretty and very simple for all user. Useful feature for me is automatic save when we close the software. I can chage the font size, theme colors and import coding. The best thing is that it is free. And then search and replace files make me enjoy. For devloper, it includes many useful features like code import, scripting, HTML,CSS,etc...

There is nothing. I enjoy to use notepad ++. It is very useful function, features than microsoft notepad.

I was unaware of Notepad ++ until I became interested in learning basic visual script, a programming language. At first, I attempted to write scripts in Microsoft's built-in text processing software, but I found that very tedious and difficult. However, after looking online for software that eases programming for beginning script writers, I found Notepad ++, and I am so glad that I did. In short, while software like Notepad does not allow users to change text color, Notepad ++ does. Ultimately, this feature--coupled with a few others--makes differentiating between different lines of text much easier, which is useful when programming, where you see several repetitive lines of code that can be an eyesore at times to read. Thus, I greatly enjoyed Notepad ++ and recommend it to anyone interested in scripting, as it makes the whole process more streamlined and convenient.

I will try to keep this portion of the review as brief as possible because I really enjoyed Notepad ++ and don't have (or even want to say!) many negative things about it. Furthermore, as I think about it, not many grievances even come to mind in the first place! However, with that said, one (and the only) thing I noticed was their advertising and marketing. Simply put, it was VERY difficult to find the official webpage, and when I eventually did (which took a while), I wasn't even confident that it was, in fact, the official site. Furthermore, I found the website very difficult to navigate, and they have a long list of downloads that do not specify what version is compatible with your OS or has the right features. Ultimately, in conclusion, it's quite confusing to find and download, but once you do, it is absolutely worth it!

Easy to use and install, simple tool, lot of plugins available to analyze, filter and develop code.

User interface is not that good, Installing some plugins are really difficult and won't install properly.

The best thing about Notepad is that it is simple to use, the code can also be developed with ease on the platform, we can create folders and keep various files into it. We can search for any keywords on the file.We can save all the unsaved files on one go as well.

The platform is very good to develop code into it. I did not find any drawback on the platform.

Notepad++ supports almost all the popular programming languages including SQL. It is generally lightweight and light. You can install it and get it working in minutes and it doesn't consume a lot of your computer resources. It provides the functionality of Syntax highlighting something that make it enjoyable to code as it helps in trouble shooting and catching errors. One of my favorite aspects of Notepad ++ is its ability to split the interface into multiple views to help you do side by side editing. I also love the search and replace feature. This feature is a big deal because not all text editors come with it. It helps me quickly find a specific piece of code and replace it with another. These speeds up my work. Another helpful feature of Notepad++ is the auto-complete suggestions which are such a time saver and help you reduce errors.

1. Notepad++ is only available in windows operating system. 2. Another con is that Notepad++ is a stand alone application and therefore it doesn't offer realtime collaboration options possibility. I mostly use it for my own personal projects which do not require me to collaborate with someone.

Its easy to use
its light weight
It handles large data

More features and more customization needed

Its very helpful tool. It help me to write code of javascript, Html, css, Json and many more languages and provide format also as epr language which is good. And one more good thing is it store all files data even if we don't save that file. And we can install many plugin as per our need.

Comparing text with this tool it bit difficult. If we open lots of files then it slow down and some time Stop responding.

Customizable UI with various themes. Syntax highlighting/folding for many languages, powerful search/replace, and macro recording.

New users might find the array of features and customization options overwhelming.

Notepad++ is a lightweight text editor for Windows, featuring syntax highlighting, multi-document support, and powerful search capabilities

Notepad++ limitations: Windows only, complex interface, occasional crashes, no built-in collaboration, basic project management, limited cloud integration, lacks modern features, steep learning curve for advanced functions.
