Notepad++ has always and will always be the worst editor
For quick edits I use notepad++ or vim.

Notepad++ just werks for me honestly.
I'm not paying for Winrar ever either.

I personally use Gedit but Geany is like the same at a basic level and windows builds exist of it.
>>51766100
Vim
emacs
I need an alternative that lets me close and reopen with the same tabs, even tabs that aren't saved to a file. Sublime did this but then I moved to N++ because muh freedums.
>>51767130
Komodo saves tabs, but sadly not unsaved tabs. it asks you to save or discard changes when you exit
Sublime for when I can't use IDE
Or Vim for when I'm in the terminal (aka ssh into server)
>>51767185
Well then komodo is not for me, friend.

OP failed to mention that he's probably looking for a notepad++ alternative because the author asked those who voted le penn to uninstall the application or something like that.
Microsoft Word

I'd recommend Gvim but if that's too much autism for you you could try TextAdept. It's cross platform and the closest thing to Notepad++ you'll ever find.
VScode.
>>51766100
Here faggot http://alternativeto.net/software/notepad-plus-plus/
You should really take this opportunity to upgrade to a IDE like visual studio community or one of the jet brains ones.

It's scintilla just like n++, only downside is no tabs.
When working on actual projects I use VSCode.

sublime is really nice but i use vim most of the time, never tried emacs and don't really like notepad++, feels too bloated
>>51770116
>>51770357
VS Code isn't even a proper general-purpose text editor, it just does a few very specific languages sort of well (cause it comes pre-configured to do so) while looking hideous and being slow.
It lacks the broad selection of languages and plugins, which is t doesn't replace a real text editor like sublime, vim or emacs. Anything you can do in VSC, other editors can do better.
BBEdit mustard rave
Brackets or Netbeans for me, depends on which one I want to use. Brackets for quick edits and netbeans at the office.
>>51767130
That functionality would require saving the contents of tab to a file or else the data would be lost. What you are really asking for is for all unsaved tabs to be saved to some cache file at some location automatically, which sounds like pretty horrible behavior.

>Geany
It's shit.
>>51772309
Sublime and Geany are the only two editors that allow you to set commandline arguments for both scripting languages and compiled languages to compile/run within the editor itself unlike babby Notepad++ where you have to go to the console. Geany does this particularly well
>>51772389
Well that's a meager advantage compared with all the downsides.
>>51766100
use sublime text, faggot
editor's name is scite, notepad++ is a frontend for it
>>51766100
Notepad, I guess.
>>51769961
Npp is pretty much a portable and light weight IDE when configured, and its nicer to use than Vim.
I'm not saying it's as powerful as Vim, but I am saying I use NPP whenever I can because I don't always want to run Eclipse or intellij.
>>51772412
simplicity is not a downside, if you want an editor that you can just start using without reading docs and yet still has enough features and configurations that any editor would need(not stupid simple like gedit), then geany is perfect. I find even Notepad++ is overcomplicated for my purposes

>>51766282
Why don't you fuck off and go write your own queer.
>/g/ suddenly hates notepad++
you fuckers are so fucking jumpy. Notepad++ is fine for basic edits.
For everything else, I'll usually use an IDE or something.
>>51766100
literally any other editor
Why would you use anything EXCEPT NP++? Its the best editor for Windows and possibly any OS. Its also the only Windows editor that uses native UI widgets meaning way less resource use than Atom/VS Code/Emacs/Geany
>>51772815
/pol/ crossies are butthurt the creator doesn't share their political views, so now they're intentionally crippling themselves looking for 'alternatives'. Don't worry though, they'll be back in a month max.
>>51772815
In case you missed the threads yesterday, the author went on twitter and ordered everyone who voted for the French Nationalist party in the local elections last weekend to uninstall the program.
We hate when people try to cram politics into tech so when we see another program fall for this, specially when it's the usual SJW crap, we abandon shit. A lot of us stopped using Firefox when Brendan Eich was first rewarded for decades of service with the CEO position of the Mozilla foundation and then days later forced to resign by SJW's demanding his head on a platter after they found out that he had donated a bit of money to a political campaign they didn't like.
>>51772815
pol shitters who claim to hate SJW-style mobbing/boycotting are now acting like SJWs because the authors of a piece of software disagrees with them politically, and that apparently means you have to stop using the program.
>>51772602
Well I find Geany far too simple for anything but raw ASCII code.

I don't even disagree with the sentiment that NF are dangerous xenophobes, but I still think this "Stop using my software if you don't agree with my political views" stuff is bullshit. The same way as Brendan Eich being forced to resign after his political views, which he didn't practice as part of his job, came to light.
/pol/ and people with any amount of sense generally hate this kind of shit where politics is brought into everything.

I like trying new editors, and I really tried to like VS Code, but I just can't figure out a reason to want to use it.
For me it's still vim for quick shit, sublime for large files, and atom for everything else.

Microsoft Word,or alternatively just Wordpad.
Sublime is the GOAT editor fuck the rest of that shit. Its got every mother fucking feature you need and if somethings missing just install the package manager and find it or write your own plugin if you're capable.
>>51773849
Sublime doesn't have games like emacs does.
Atom

of course it does autists don't do actual dev work they just cum their pants at stupid features like that

>"Stop using my software if you don't agree with my political views" stuff is bullshit.
That's not even what he said.
It was tongue in cheek playing on the NF xenophobia and calling them shitty, pointing out it's coded by an immigrant and shouldn't be used according to their own logic.
>>51773974
To expound on that, I don't think Don cares whoever uses it, hell he moved the site to France because he refused to deny access to the software in embargoed countries like Cuba/Iran.

>When NF and parties like them against immigration and immigrants in general, just when it goes too far and you end up with millions of people who simply refuse to integrate and end up creating immigrant ghettos
>Which actually are a real thing in France, Germany, Britain and Sweden
Even if it was a failed attempt tongue in cheek playfulness and not a SJW hissyfit the guy's still being ignorant as shit.

>>51773974
lol no, the NPP author has a long twitter history of whiny bitching about politics and there was nothing tongue-in-cheek about the post it was basically "Fuck you NF voters, stop using my program it was written by an immigrant I shit on you" etc.
Fag isn't even an immigrant, he's a 2nd generation chink who considers himself "not French".
