I’m on version 8.8.8, which says a lot.
This time I unfortunately have to move on from Notepad++. Vibes have been negative for a while but out of inertia (and because there weren't obvious alternatives) I never pulled the trigger. Now it's time. The trust is gone.
Thanks NP++ for being free and useful for so many years.
Can anyone suggest a solid alternative on Windows? I'm fine with Linux and macOS but I have to keep a Windows machine around for some legacy, win only, software.
Maybe Sublime Text could be an option? At this point I'd rather pay for something lightweight, fast, and probably better.
I don't like tooling that increases my exposure to bad state actors (whatever state they're from).
- nzd 8mo agoSublime Text. It's art.
- maremmano 8mo agoThanks. I'm on it right now. Testing.
- hansifer 8mo agoIt was great 10 years ago before VS Code, but Sublime has been abandonware for years now.
- maremmano 7mo agoI got both Sublime and VSCode. Sublime is a work of love. You can probably do more things with vscode, but I'm not sure you can do many of these things better or faster than sublime. I don't think so.

- rdiddly 8mo agoAre we supposed to ignore announcements of documented compromises then? Or are you saying compromised software is the safest of all?
