Notepad++, GET YOUR FOSS ON PEOPLE!

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/

If you're not using it, then you're going to be extremely happy when you switch!

I liked the tab support being added and use notepad for a bunch of basic bitch shiz, but notepad++ is going full time if they start bogging it down with crap.

People should use Vim. It's tons better and very user friendly.

Highly recommend this.

A modern Neovim configuration with full battery for Python, Lua, C++, Markdown, LaTeX, and more...

This is enough to get the intellisense and linters up and running. Only takes ~5 minutes to configure by installing prerequisites, it's worth it though.

No one getting this joke is hilarious to me

[–] rivermonster@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Its not that people have missed the joke, it's that the joke is poorly formed and not hyperbolic enough to be funny, instead it's rather a half joke and brings up a larger issue (intentional or not), that undermines the attempt at absurdist humor.

I find Dunning-Kruger to be funny.

Nah, it's just going over most peoples heads.

But how do you exit?

[–] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Simple: You pull the plug on your PC.

[–] bluewing@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

VIM is for people who need crutches - Vi is where it's at. Or maybe LaTex I don't know.

But I do heartily endorse Notepad++.

There's KDE Kate as well, but I only use that for scripting purpose.
