To be fair, Notepad++ is an excellent piece of software, and I still miss it on Linux. Specifically, I miss the feature that can highlight the same text strings in different colors throughout a document. It’s valuable when going through logs while troubleshooting something.
I’m using Notepad++ on Windows
Just move to Linux at this point
I would love to, but I need to use solidworks for my job.
I could virtualize it, but I also need to use MS apps like Teams, and at that point I’d just be in the windows vm 100% of the time anyway.
But this doesn’t prevent me from learning Linux at home!
There are wrappers to run teams directly on Linux. Works like charm.

Can’t this be done with Kate?
I feel like almost everything can be done with Kate if you find the right setting. I think you can get it to knit you a sweater!
Aside from the 3 top right icons (probably) not showing correctly it seems to run. But I never used it, so I don’t know what to test in there.

I can’t even remember using anything else. Certainly not Notepad.
Who is still using Windows at this point, lol?
About 90% of PC users. So yeah, almost nobody.
