The article starts out by saying that Notepad++ "is a text editor popular among developers". Really?
I enjoy coding something new up in Notepad++, without any annoying autocomplete and jank. I call it unplugged (acoustic?) mode. Jeepers Visual Studio these days starts autocompleting if and while for example and sometimes doesn't respect normal keystrokes because it expects me to complete these kind of interactions instead.
First three things I install on any machine - 7zip, Notepad++, alternate browser.
LOL I guess the editors using Notepad++ downvoted you :P
