    Agree on all counts about Notepad++ “oldness”

    • slower when we have 100 files open
    • clunky
    • rigid
    • old GUI paradigms ( settings modal, find modal etc)
    • inflexible and less customizable UI chrome area

    Few things I like about Notepad++ enough to actually keep on using it on work workstations:

    • Plugins ecosystem. I am too entrenched into it.
      • PoormansSqlFormatter
      • Tidy2
      • JSTool
      • XML Tools
      • ComparePlus
      • TextFx2
    • great built-in editing operations Edit > EOL
    • great bookmarking operations
    • Very active development
    • Way faster than VS Code for text manipulation tasks

    Geany with Plugins with is great but misses out on the above stuff

    Sublime is the only one and I could use it for a serious amount of time. I only went back because I could not often get it installed in some enterprises.
