NGL, I’ve always thought it was a Windows program, since it’s in my work pc where I’m forced to use Microsoft ecosystem. I couldn’t understand how a Microsoft app could be this lightweight, fast and useful
Hell yeah, been using it for years, it’s incredible.
In case you were wondering, yes, they patched the CIA exploit

Kate, FOSS editor, part of KDE Plasma (German):
In the last few days I learned that a lot of things are not from the US
Have you heard of VLC ? 😉
I liked VLC years ago, but MPC-BE is my favorite by far.
mpv > vlc
Nice I use it since ,~2012 . Still the same, no bloat, no BS text editor
Looks like 2012 alright.
For it’s small overhead, it’s pretty customizable from what it looks like out of the box.
Similarly, Sublime Text is Australian.
I love ++, so good!
A favorite of mine for years. I wish there was an Android version.
I wish there were a Linux version!
Part of what makes notepad++ so good is the way it leverages what windows does already.
It would be an entirely different beast to port it like for like but there are options that are “near”
Kate is good, and VSCodium works well but is much more than I need usually. Luckily there are lots of options!
I have been using Notepadqq for some time and enjoyed it.
That looks good, thank you. I’d never heard of it.
It works absolutely perfectly in Wine. There are re-implementations for Linux directly, but those won’t work with the Windows plugins you can download from the internet.
I wish there was a macOS version! (Same for Paint.NET.)
Cool, but it sadly lacks many features of other editor. I would personally prefer other open source editors
What other editor are you referring to and features?
There are plenty of plugins for the most niche tasks, languages, codepages, git/svn integration, etc. I like Compare plus for advanced diff functionality.
I’m surprised to hear complaints about a lack of features. Do people expect a program with “notepad” in the name to be a full-fledged IDE?
