Notepad++

Like the classic Windows Notepad, but on steroids.

Thanks for the reminder to put the dev on my annual donate list.

One of the best pieces of software I've ever used. Easy to use for a newb , with so much capability.

I prefer NotepadNext, it's a cross-platform reimplementation.

My favorite part about Notepad++ is pressing ALT and then selecting a line and then you can edit multiple lines of text at the same time.

Well, that and the fact that it's an amazing piece of software that is continuously improved and free and just generally all around the best at what it is.
