What's to love:
Free and open-source: Save your budget and join a vibrant community for support and plugins.
Lightweight and fast: Blazing performance, even on older machines, means smooth sailing for your edits.
Cons
debugging tools: For complex projects requiring in-depth debugging, Notepad++ might fall short compared to full-fledged IDEs with integrated debuggers and breakpoints.

Notepad plus plus, the finest txt viewer
It was a bless to be able to modify a normal style and customize it into an even more useful program.
Pros
I think the most useful feature in Notepad++ are the custom styles, that you can modify to make it even more useful.
Cons
I think some features like dupe comparisons are hidden and should be well exposed, or even inside the normal software without plugins.

Notepad++ you must have installed it on your pc
Really useful, I always have Notepad++ installed on my computers
Pros
I use Notepad++ in many ways.
First of all is an excellent text editor and keeps saved your tabs without the risk of information loss (I mean for example you write some notes and then you close the program. Next time you'll launch it you will find those notes). You can save you files choosing from a wide set of extension.
Then it has a lot of features that help me e.g. to transform data files in a readable way for humans (just think about the search and replace, the decode function...).
Plus it runs fast and never hangs. The italian version is well translated, without any weird terms :-) I highly recommend Notepad++
Cons
Often when i just want to open notepad, notepad will be selected first (not a problem!)

A classic that still works
Pros
Notepad++ is always evolving, and that is what I like the most. It has a great nostalgic community but also it is not lacking functionalities. Even there are some plugins that are specific for Notepad++ and can not be found for other platforms.
Cons
I am a true nostalgic and I love Notepad++, maybe I could complain about the update system, that could be improved.

Great Product That’s Free
Pros
This is a great application to be free. For my use, it’s mostly mild coding and a lot of note-taking. The way it can color-code text based on the type of code and script and do mass editing is really helpful.
Cons
Gets a little complicated in the settings part, but I don’t mind it too much.

Notepad++ for Development
Overall from my perspective for writing codes and scripts the Notepad++ is the best software, The UI of the Notedpad++ is something any user might does not like in first sight but the users can adapt it very well
Pros
Notepad++ has many languages which are supported which makes it easy to use the notepad++ for website development.
Cons
Notepad++ is probably the one of the best text editor from my views but it only lags in one thing that notepad++ does not have any compilers to execute the code and each and every time i have to copy the code in other editors to execute it

Simple Tool for Scripting - Notepad++
Overall, Notepad++ is a great tool for editing and scripting and a must-have tool for everyone. It is a lightweight and easy-to-use tool for beginners.
Pros
Notepad++ is a scripting tool that a user can edit and configure easily. It is easy to install and work with.
The key advantage of this tool is detecting the languages of the script and highlighting code syntax which helps beginners and also supports different file types.
Comparison of different versions of code allows the user to find bugs easily.
Cons
While processing huge files, Notepad++ performance is not appreciable.
It would be good if the UI could be improved.
Need more improvements in debugging.

Notepad++ reveiw
I would like to rank my overall experience with this product high. Because I am satisfied due to its customizable, extensible editor and lightweight capabilities.
Pros
What most I like about this product is its extensibility, customization, and multiple document editing. These features of the product give me versatility . The extensibility of the notepad++ boosts the functionality of the text editor by using plugins. I can highlight my codes and auto-completion for code as well.
Cons
The most I don't like about Notepad++ is the basic feature. It should offer features for the same level as the IDE integrated development environment offers.

The best text editor.
a one-stop-shop for anything text related, it handles all kinds of files and support multiple programing languages for syntax highlighting.
Pros
notepad ++ has all the features I'd want in a text editor, as for advanced features I really like that I can use regular expressions to search files, I also like How it handles large files smoothly, It's open-source, powerful and free tool
Cons
Not the greatest user-interface but it's still usable.

The best text editor out there for halfway normal users
I've been using this for years and it's the best text editor out there. It wont turn you into a cultist like EMACS seems to do.
Pros
The best thing about N++ is the user interface. Being able to customize the display settings to the degree is available and to allow for compatibility with code conventions of various languages is essential.
Cons
The worst thing about N++ is that is can look kind of dated in that "MFC 1992" look.

An essential companion for code writing
I've been using Notepad++ to write and handle my source code files, especially those for scripting languages (Python, Perl), and once you get used to it, it really empowers you to program faster and spend less time managing your code.
Pros
The combination of syntax highlighting, visual code organization (e.g. closing code sections to improve higher-level visibility of source file content) and the possibility to have macros make it a fundamental tool for day-to-day code writing.
Cons
I've experienced random glitches when switching between different encodings, but nothing really major.
