Pros / Cons
  • Notepad ++ can easily take Note, Good GUI and easily to use, Light Weight, Can also write code for web developer with clean code structure and have many plugins.
  • If I have to be most scrupulous, I would say that I don't really like your logo, it's too busy - I like the pencil but I can't see whatever the green stuff on the paper is supposed to represent.

  • I also like the color coding of certain key words which helps me prevent typos in my code.
  • Furthermore, compared to the current extension market places available with VSCode, using Package Control to manage plugins seems dated and less user-friendly than current systems.
