I am a big fan of Notepad++ in windows and I have been using Notepadqq, a linux clone. Lately though, I have been experiencing more and more crashes and bugs with it. Looking for advice and wisdom. Is there something better? Should I stick it out and try and troubleshoot my problems with Notepadqq?
Sublime Text. On any platform. Nimble, mighty, extendable.
I’m a big fan of Sublime. It’s powerful while also good at getting out of the way
Paying for a text editor seems weird, especially one that’s closed source and only supports 3 platforms
If three out of three platforms isn’t enough, you might want to go with vim. I guess it is ported to all platforms available.
Sublime is a text-editor on steroids. It has so many good extensions, it feels like an IDE.
Anyhow: paying for good software is a no-brainer, if it safes you troubles and time, and especially if yourself are a dev, too (depending on others to also pay for your work). Also there are fair company licenses in case a firm is involved.
And finally: you can use sublime without paying. There will he a pop up dialog every 50 start or so. It’s really not annoying and fair.
