NGL, I've always thought it was a Windows program, since it's in my work pc where I'm forced to use Microsoft ecosystem. I couldn't understand how a Microsoft app could be this lightweight, fast and useful
In the last few days I learned that a lot of things are not from the US
Have you heard of VLC ? 😉
Nice I use it since ,,~2012 . Still the same, no bloat, no BS text editor
In case you were wondering, yes, they patched the CIA exploit

A favorite of mine for years. I wish there was an Android version.
I wish there were a Linux version!
Part of what makes notepad++ so good is the way it leverages what windows does already.
It would be an entirely different beast to port it like for like but there are options that are “near”
Kate is good, and VSCodium works well but is much more than I need usually. Luckily there are lots of options!
I wish there was a macOS version! (Same for Paint.NET.)
YES! paint.net is also excellent! GIMP is way more capable than I usually need.
It took me years of using GIMP to understand it well enough to stop booting into Windows just to use Paint.net
It works absolutely perfectly in Wine. There are re-implementations for Linux directly, but those won't work with the Windows plugins you can download from the internet.
I have been using Notepadqq for some time and enjoyed it.
That looks good, thank you. I'd never heard of it.
I love ++, so good!
I like this textual editor
Similarly, Sublime Text is Australian.
Cool, but it sadly lacks many features of other editor. I would personally prefer other open source editors
There are plenty of plugins for the most niche tasks, languages, codepages, git/svn integration, etc. I like Compare plus for advanced diff functionality.
I'm surprised to hear complaints about a lack of features. Do people expect a program with "notepad" in the name to be a full-fledged IDE?
