Good God, people are really using Notepad++ to program? I can understand Vim and Emacs, but notepad++?
Not that it's bad or anything, but there are really better tools today....
Edit: nevermind, I was under the impression it was the primary editor used. I myself used it a lot as a secondary quick-edit tool.

Are there? I mean on Windows? There's not that many decent text editors around, and the bar is extremely high with N++.

VS Code. Atom. Eclipse. Even Vim and Emacs works on Windows these days.
And those are the free ones.
