Why bother with NP++ if you already own sublime, which is arguably equivalent or better, is my question. I use Sublime and I am wondering what feature could be missing to justify still having NP++ installed.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I don’t own sublime.

But even if I did I prefer it over sublime most of the time. Hence copying stuff into it, multi editing, then copying it back over.

From just the little things like NP++ actually supporting windows 11s right click menu, to liking notepads find and replace options better. To stupid things like I think sublime is ugly as hell. Which really says something with how basic NP++ looks.

Can you use Sublime in evaluation mode?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yes and there’s virtually no limitations. Every other time you’d hit save you’d get a “please buy me” message, but I think even that’s gone now in later versions of sublime.
