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!

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

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 10 months ago

Simple: You pull the plug on your PC.

[-] bluewing@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months 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++.

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.

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