It allows me to have multiple windows open at once for editing. I love the fact that it highlights keywords when I use the appropriate file extension. > > **Cons**: It seems as a default, it assumes the file is a text file and then sometimes I have to go to the finder and rename the file extension. > > I love using Notepad++. It has been my go to editor for editing SQL and C Sharp code. I prefer to edit in Notepad++ and then copy paste into Visual Studio for my SQL code. ----- ### "Simple, fast, and reliable for everyday code editing" — 5.0/5 > **Junaid** | *22 January 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Notepad++ is fast, lighweight and extremely easy to use. It launches instantly and provides exactly what you need for everyday code editing. It is completely free which makes value for money hard to beat. > > **Cons**: The interface feels dated compared to modern IDEs and advance features require plugins which can take some time to configure. > > Overall, Notepad++ is a dependable and efficient code editor that does its job extremely well. It is ideal for quick edits, scripting, configuration files and lightweight development work. ----- ### "A lightweight upgrade of the notepad" — 5.0/5 > **Marvin** | *19 June 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its easy, intuitive but still has everything that the default windows notepad is missing. Its suitable for note taking, editing config files or even some coding with syntac highlighting and formatting > > **Cons**: It is in the end still "just" a notepad so its not suitable as a proper IDE. It is missing most feature that become critical if you seriously want to work with text > > I have it installed on most my pcs just because its a great gap filler between the almost useless notepad of windows and the heavy weight programming ide. For all the times where you just quickly need to open up a text based file for a little edit. ----- ### "Notepad not better than Word" — 3.0/5 > **Tonji** | *4 January 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Mayne a first creation before word.. It can however be used to make a list and shrinked in the corner on the front page of your laptop or computer. > > **Cons**: Its nothibg like Word misiinh a lot of action. > > Used to creates a list , a paragraph, or essay. But not good on editing ----- ### "Notepadd ++ Review after usage of a year" — 4.0/5 > **Rakhi** | *20 April 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was incredibly useful for reviewing log files, comparing test outputs, and making quick edits to test data files without any overhead. The find and replace with regex support was a particular favorite — it saved a lot of manual work when searching through large log files or cleaning up test data in bulk. > > **Cons**: The lack of a native diff or file comparison view built directly into the core tool was a gap — you had to rely on a plugin that didn't always behave consistently. Being Windows only was also a recurring frustration for anyone working in a mixed OS environment. > > It's the tool you reach for when you need something fast, simple, and reliable without the weight of a full editor. It's not a replacement for a proper IDE or dedicated testing tool but as a lightweight everyday utility it consistently delivers and rarely gets in the way. ----- Page: 1 / 82\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.il/software/185965/notepad?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.il/software/185965/notepad) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
