Even better, Notepad+ has blown them away for years now.

Don’t get me started on how Notepad++ blows that away!

I was always more of a fan of Notepad += ++

Just use VSCode ffs.

Also, yes I endorse VSCode wholeheartedly but do whatever works for you.

Notepad++ is fine for the vast majority of people.

I don't need my text editor running inside a web browser but thanks for the offer

The fact that VS code runs on JavaScript is its strength not its weakness.

But you do you, like I said.

Edit: to the other person, whom I realized is just joking

My point stands, I guess?
