DON'T USE FUCKING NOTEPAD!!!

Notepad++ ftw!

@LucaScorpion You know what I mean...

@athlon Well, you are being awfully generic ;) Like, not use it for anything ever? Though I assume you mean for coding, in which case I agree.

I agree but is probably the most popular coding tool ever.

Wait 10 seconds more until another text editor launches while you're just trying to insert some temporary data.

@cosinusdealfa If you gotta slow computer, that's your problem 😊

My informatics teacher uses Notepad for Java. Which is pretty sad actually.

git commit -a opens my notepad

@Jase you're god!

People! Don't u know people started using MS word!😜

@Jase why not use Sublime Text? Speed of notepad and functionality getting close to a lightweight ide. Plus, it's extendible

@CluelessBanana precisely!
@PraveenKishore Hearing that in another rant was so sad, my Girlfriend who only knows what I tell her about coding, but writes in Word all the time and knows how shit it is, laughed at the ridiculous nature of the previous rant. It was about this student submitting a program in MS Word....

So so sad...

@CluelessBanana exactly what I thought!

I like to think of my tools as a hierarchy:
I still use Notepad to paste helpful code snippets or links and what not.
Sublime text for quick, smaller edits here and there.
NetBeans/PhpStorm/IntelliJ/Android Studio for the big guns.

They have their benefits over one another, find peace with it

pro tip : use notepad2.
we all know we need that super simple copy paste tool.
notepad2 is as fast as plain notepad but slightly better.

I coded in notepad for 2 years. Now i use Atom 👍

@Dacexi what's your home planet? asgard?

I'm so lost, what's bad about notepad??? It's a place where you can write things??? What code can you not write with it????????????

I use and help develop Atom but I use vim/vi/neovim && rubymine as well as nano as well. Don't use notepad these days as I don't use windows but I do use gedit which is the closest thing to it I have. It's litterally a text editing tool though no different than any other , other than the lack of feautures. I have written 86-64 and arm assembly in gedit -- would be no different in notepad... Confused

@rmahey Yes, you can! But it's like building a car with toy hammer

@athlon
Fancy stuff is nice to have but being dependent on it causes laziness
