Notepad++ Reviews

Lightweight, but powerful, text editor that anyone can benefit from using.

The best for MS Windows!

great tool, I especially love the plugin manager. Some work could be done concerning the alert we get (for instance with XML tool), no idea what it could mean. It has not been possible to validate the integrity of 'XMLTools.dll' needed to install or ...

I wonder if it can beat emac/vi with the help of plugins :P

Considered it way overkill when all I cared about was multi-level undo--which Notepad is so sorely missing. Picked it up again recently to work on a twisted maze of nested JavaScript files and LOVE the regex Find in all Opened Documents. Now kicking myself for not investing just a little more time when I first looked it over. Thanks hugely!!!

The best free editor

The newest version (6.7.4) can't install on x64 machine <(")

I use it everyday, it is a very good tool. thanks!!!

My go-to text editor for many years now. Lots of features, but lightweight and easy to use.

Mr f-u off, you are in no position to DEMAND anything. You're computer/programming skills are SEVERELY lacking if you cannnot find a way convert .txt to .csv. Perhaps instead of criticizing real devs who have real skills, you ought to educate yourself a wee bit or just download another free text editor. Thee are about a billion of them on this thing called the "internet"...

The best fast text/script editor I used. Very good software

Superb Light Weight Tool Customizable for personal use...

I am NOT Charlie ~--~--~ -~--~--~ I agree with "penryn" 20 Jan 2015 about JeSuisCharlie. I bought Charlie Hebdo of 07 Jan 4h after the massacre, I bought the historical Charlie Hebdo (7 million copies sold), I marched Sun 11 Jan République-Nation *in support of the victims (no matter how strongly I disagree with them) and of the freedom of expression INCLUDING THEIRS* but I REFUSED to carry the "Je Suis Charlie" sticker because I AM NOT Charlie: everyone informed knows that Charlie Hebdo has always been a permanent offense to freedom of expression, to honesty, to beauty, by publishing each week a row of disgusting ugly drawings, whose main goal is always the same: bash, mock, insult, SLANDER Christians and Old French people; their attacks on Muslims and Islam, as disgusting as they were, were much milder and less frequent than on Christians and French citizens. Everyone knows this but NONE dares to tell it! This is just an example, but even if you are denying the reality about Charlie, you must know that FORCING into a text editor and into users' PC a marked, unwarranted, unchecked, reckless, thoughtless political or religious opinion, is only showing that you LACK HONESTY AND SERIOUSNESS. I too have used NotePAD++ intensively daily for years, but my until now high opinion of it can only decrease (even if not low enough so far for removing a star) with this attack on neutrality and objectivity. So, still 5 stars - for now. Versailles (France), Wed 04 Mar 2015 14:51:10 +0100

one of the things i DEMAND that a text editor does all the time is that the program knows how to convert any .txt file into a .csv file, period! oh sure text editors have no problem converting all .csv files to .txt files but they never can do the reverse. That kinda shoddy professionalism was great for the end of the 20th century, but we now halfway through the second decade of the 21st century and this should have been solved and solved simplistically. If the said editors knows how to convert a .csv file into plain text then that same editor should know how to do the reverse. Therefore your product gets a 1. I would have asked this question of notepad++ support, but there doesn't seem to be any of that easily located on their webpage. NOT even an email support option easily linked to their front page of their site! And yes, i've tried a few times to save as and see how many types of different kinds of files the .txt file can be saved as. It does a bunch, but seeing as .csv files are what i call a major type of file format and there were about 20 different kinds of saved formats i could have chosen. I COULDN'T choose the kind i needed to save the information as cause the program i was writing the information for NEEDED the information in .csv format.

In my opinion Notepad++ is simply the best free editor for Windows out there. We use it on a daily basis for log file analysis, where its searching and marking features do a great job. The only drawback is its lack for 64 bit support, so that larger files cannot be opened.

A must for every developer out there! Plugin-rich and nicely integrated macros make it a step above all others in Windows.

JeSuisCharlie I must respectfully disagree with Mr. penryn. The frightening cult of a suspect religion has gone on a rampage of ruthless, brutal, behavior calling on God as it's reason. For this reason it is incumbent upon any civilized person to denounce these actions in whatever medium they have at their disposal. I also must say, "Je Suis Charlie"! As to the post of mr/ms z-not they have a point. Although the tone of the post is a little harsh I must agree that it is one of the first things that should have been addressed. Will the lack of a correction stop me from using Notepad++, definitely not. I enjoy it's other delights! Now, maybe someone will "Remember the last used directory" ?? smiling and hope good weather is with you all. fbii

It was a great editor until the dev decided he should make it type out a political message on startup. I agree with the message, but it's totally wrong to exhibit malware-like behavior just to get your political agenda across *in a professional editor.*

Perfectly

Отличный редактор кода. Забыл когда начал им пользоваться.

Be careful. Sourceforge is still pushing a downloader.

love it, thanks for your work!

I have been working for a long time with NOTEPAD++. However after updating to 6.6.7 version it is not opening file automatically on its extension basis, for this i have to do manually select file's language from menu bar.

The tool for programmers!

A great text editor for windows, with an open plug-in architecture and tons of useful plugins, a must for any windows user
