@Demolishun why not vs code? Does notepad++ autocomplete imported libs?

@Demolishun that's the thing, I don't think it's more complex. Maybe the dark bg is scary

@Demolishun yes, you can! I don't use some project files. I always navigate to project directory and execute `code . ` and it opens the directory in the editor. No config needed

Big IDEs can be scary for beginners (too many options that can go wrong)

Why not introduce them to notepad++ so they can dip their toes into the world of proper development
