    I’ve switched from NPP years ago. Can somebody please explain why it’s so popular?

      It’s

      Free Updated very regularly It has awesome plugins Themes Fantastic search / replace capabilities Support the formatting of a lot of languages Very light weight Keeps open all those files forever and ever

      It’s just very good…

      Think of it as the vlc of txt files
