Notepad+ 3.1
All developers need a good editor to work in, and you’d usually find them trying various ones before making a decision which one works best. I also did that trying out , and in the end settled for Notepad+, a free light weight GPL editor with syntax highlighting for a host of languages.
It has worked for me for nearly a year now, till I noticed colleague having features I don’t have. Hey, I also want that easy commenting-out, etc. How did you get that?
Apparently I became so comfortable with Notepad+ as it is, I didn’t both checking for updates, etc. I’m using version 2.4 at the moment. The latest version is 3.1. I clearly must have been sleeping here.
In any case, I’d recommend Notepad+ to any developer any day. Catch your copy for yourself at: http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net. And after you use it, don’t forget to check regularly for updates
