Agreed. I've got VSCode and Textmate installed on my Mac but I guess my earlier years of Windows experience and Notepad++ being ubiquitous on all my machines and servers have set i…

Wow, some really great entries and winners. The macro world is so interesting. The little I've dabbled has always resulted in some new discovery of a part of a flower or insect tha…
