Notepad++ is so based. It's a traditionally well-made native app, fast and lean, with a dense and useful interface, which is a breath of fresh air amidst a sea of Electron & Co. bloat that comprises modern apps.
Also has a nice logo for a FOSS app. Branding is important, even for FOSS, which so many unfortunately fail at. If your software creation is associated with a foot or a rat, then you're doing it wrong.

- kbelder 2y agoI put IrfanView on every windows machine I use. It's a very handy and lightweight image viewer. But the logo is an animal ran over by a car, I think? I've had people ask me about why I have 'that dead animal' icon on my desktop.
