About

Atom is a hackable text editor for the 21st century, built on Electron, and based on everything we love about our favorite editors. We designed it to be deeply customizable, but still approachable using the default configuration. A text editor is at the core of a developer’s toolbox, but it doesn't usually work alone. Work with Git and GitHub directly from Atom with the GitHub package. Create new branches, stage and commit, push and pull, resolve merge conflicts, view pull requests and more—all from within your editor. The GitHub package is already bundled with Atom, so you're ready to go! Atom works across operating systems. Use it on OS X, Windows, or Linux. Search for and install new packages or create your own right from Atom. Atom helps you write code faster with a smart and flexible autocomplete. Easily browse and open a single file, a whole project, or multiple projects in one window.

About

Notepad++ is a free source code editor and Notepad replacement that supports several languages. Running in the MS Windows environment, its use is governed by GNU General Public License. Based on the powerful editing component Scintilla, Notepad++ is written in C++ and uses pure Win32 API and STL which ensures a higher execution speed and smaller program size. By optimizing as many routines as possible without losing user friendliness, Notepad++ is trying to reduce the world carbon dioxide emissions. When using less CPU power, the PC can throttle down and reduce power consumption, resulting in a greener environment.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It is easy to use and the interface is not confusing or messy. It keeps things simple, but incredibly powerful. Tabs, macros, plug-ins, etc - it just makes work so much better.
  • Notepad++ is renowned for its speedy operation and lightweight design. It is a good option for coding and text editing jobs since it launches quickly and uses little system resources.
  • 1. It is lightweight and runs smooth in all the systems. 2. It allows opening multiple tabs and files side by side. 3. Furthermore, it allows saving documents with various extensions and format. 4. It supports dark mode theme natively. 5. It has indentation feature as well as syntax highlighting for many programming languages.
  • Notepad++ is a very solid text editor. It has a simple user interface and provides a nice list of features. For my purposes, the most useful was the ability to bookmark lines, macro effects in the search and replace screen and the various customization options.
  • - It is a lightweight code editor that supports all the major programming languages. - The user interface of the application is clean and simple. - It supports multiple tab editing and view. - It has all the necessary feature to support efficient programming like, syntax highlighting, debugging and plugin support.

Cons

  • No cons - it's all good. I have used the product for so many years, that if a PC I'm using doesn't have it, I keep a USB stick with it on there. Love it!
  • Notepad++ has no integrated collaborative capabilities and is primarily meant for solitary usage. Users might have to utilize third-party solutions for group coding or editing projects.
  • 1. It is a lightweight note editor with some specific features which helps in programming, no cons in my opinion.
  • My main concern with this tool is the aesthetic. While customizable, the process for doing so is cumbersome. This program also has less features than other editors such as Visual Studio code.
  • - It lags while opening a large file. - It does not have features like auto-completion and code formatting.
