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. ----- ### "Simple and Efficient" — 5.0/5 > **Scott** | *3 March 2026* | Human Resources (HR) Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I appreciate its lightness and speed. Notepad++ opens instantly and allows to handle text files much easier than a classic editor. It is also a practical tool to prepare clean notes, quickly edit exported files (CSV, logs, etc.) or correct content before integrating it into another system. > > **Cons**: Also, even if it is perfect for editing text, it is obviously not a collaboration tool: as soon as you need to work as a team, you have to use other platforms. > > Notepad++ is a simple tool but extremely practical to work on text, scripts or configuration files. Even in a non-technical environment, it is very useful on a daily basis. ----- ### "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 ----- ### "Notepad++ review from developer" — 5.0/5 > **Daniel** | *7 August 2025* | Market Research Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It had great options for different file encoding which works great with foreign language text. It can easily switch to UTF-8 with or without BOM character which came in very handy. It also has many search options, macro options as well. > > **Cons**: I would like to see a clip library. For us coders, setting up code blocks in a clip library would be quite useful. > > Notepad++ is a great text editor for developers. It is our go-to software for editing files that have foreign language characters. It has many great search options, macros, and other nice features. ----- Page: 1 / 81\ 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
