The founder of the project even said once that he didn't want anyone voting for the National Front to use his piece of software.
Makes me wonder if he's considered putting anything in the code to prevent it... Perhaps someone should test a few racist phrases with wireshark on?
Totally no other way.

Answer: no.

I'm not French, but even if I were and were a NF voter, I doubt I would care about his political tweets let alone uninstall the software as a result. ...as someone not involved in that political fight, I slightly worry that this will serve as a distraction for him in future project development, maybe lead to a broken release or a dev path and force me to look for a new tool - zeal often crowds out focus. ...but hey,…

'Jokes' from the reddit thread:
- If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, its yours forever. If it doesn't, you hunt that bitch down and kill her.
- I'm not saying I hate her. I just hope she gets fingered by wolverine
- If you ever wanna know what a woman's mind feels like? Imagine a browser with 2857 tabs open, all the time.
- The reason women will never be the ones to propose is because as soon as she gets on her knees, he will start unzipping.
- I'm no gynecologist, but I know a cunt when I see one.

Absolutely not wanting to diminish the success of Notepad++ among its user base, I'd still like to mention that Notepad++ is a Windows only editor, where the main functionality is actually provided by the multiplatform editor engine called Scintilla , written by Neil Hodgson, and published since 1999 under a very permissive BSD-like license. The first version of Notepad++ was published in 2003. Neil Hodgson also main…
As a former user of SciTE, the definition of the word "main" here is highly subjective. If you mean "more LoC", then maybe, fine. But the value in Notepad++ is in UX, which is an immeasurably better than SciTE's (and an extremely challenging thing to get right—I'm not faulting SciTE for lacking here, UX is hard).

I assume an overwhelming majority of National Front voters don't want people like him out, they just don't want their salaries dumped and their teachers beheaded. Also, it's not the first time this guy uses his influence as the leader of a popular project to push his politics. It's getting boring.

Politely disagree
Even if they don't the notarization requirement is a strong first step to at minimum a games console-style licensing program, or further integration with the existing developer program. It would be nice for Apple to not do this, but if they can keep their ARM chips highly competitive it would be insanely lucrative to do so. Corporations are for-profit entities first and foremost.

It's no harder to install a non app store app today than it was when I got my first mac. So I'm not sure why this opinion is held so strongly. It wouldn't be lucrative, because all the pro users (basically the mac userbase) would just not buy one. What's the point in getting one over an iPad?
Better keyboard, larger screen, more connectors. And despite a lot of devs using macs, most of the userbase aren't devs, but are instead designers, artists, or just average people like college students etc. Most of those don't need third party stores, or execute any type of software outside of an apple approved list. Give them their specialist DAW, Adobe suite, etc. and they are content.

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…
I just discovered Notepad++ macros today. Need to put speechmarks and a comma around every line? Record a macro, then repeat it N times. Brill.
