Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Great HTML editor with split view. Fast editing. Nice user interface. Dark theme support. Alternative to DreamWeaver.
  • Lots and lots of features. I am especially in love with its ability to create a table of contents. I will generate beautifully simple HTML/CSS, because it's not a word processor and it doesn't try to create beautiful documents, it's an HTML editor and it creates HTML documents.

Cons

  • Paid $90 for a license, didn't get a license, author unresponsive.
  • It unreliable. Every once in a while, it will break. Deleting the configuration files and reinstalling it doesn't help. I have gotten no help from the author.

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.
