I remember notepad++ from way back in the day. Haven't used it since my shift to Linux in 2006, but it used to be the only editor worth talking about for Windows. I was blown when I discovered column mode. I think I learnt to think about editing as an operation through it. It's carried forward to my vim usage now as well. I've seen Devs not make maximum use of these features and while I do respect their choices, I ha…
Any tutorials/videos you recommend to juniors?

I dont use it as an IDE but literally as a notebook, as well as editing the odd xml / json / sql etc.
Just a fantastic multi-purpose Notepad application.
I really, really wish I could run this program natively on macOS. Previously I had a windows computer for work (though I am a mac user generally) and this is the only thing I miss since I managed to get a mac for work. I know there are plenty of text editors available but Notepad++ just ticks all the right boxes for a simple text editor. Edit: CrossOver for mac (fancy version of wine) is way cheap than I thought (30…
While i'm more of a linux user - not a mac user - for personal computing, i used to use notepad++ for years and years on windows machines that were issued to me at my day jobs. However, for the last few months i've been using Geany [https://www.geany.org/], based on many positive comments i had read elswhere that it comes closest to notepad++. So, I'm running Geany on my work machine (windows), and any/all of my personal linux machines. While Geany is amazing, it is not as good as notepad++ (in only a few small ways); though it really does comes the closest that i've seen compared to other text editors. Plus, it runs natively across windows, linux, and mac! I have no wish to persuade you to switch if you've already found a notepad++ alternative. But, if it helps you, i've grown to really love geany. And, as much as i still love notepad++, i yanked out notepad++ from my work windows machine and only run geany. I do this because i now have a consistent, unified experience (for my text editor) regardless of the OS, which is important to me. So, again, not trying to persuade, but if you haven't, give Geany a look-see. Good luck!
EDIT: I failed to add that...i've heard folks suggest running some sort of emulation layer or maybe Wine on linux in order to run notepad++...but for me, needing to run some extra layer for a text editor just didn't sit right with me. YMMV

Currently isn't... but Apple is moving toward AppStore on OS/X...
Politely disagree
My guess is that Apple will make it step by step more difficult to install non-store apps so that people get used to it and only then cut it off.

By what metric was Samuel not the victim? Is it against the law in France to share offensive religious imagery? Is the legal punishment beheading by vigilante?
He wasn't a victim, he was The victim, that's what the commentor above tried to say, he was specifically targeted
Notepad++ is written by an immigrant (non-french native) . In https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/a-propos-du-tweet-contre-... , the photo says: "Please uninstall Notepad++ if you voted for the National Front" (he was assuming the xenophobic party) Each release has a message on what he believes in: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news
