Notepad++ is bloody awful, please stop using it and let it die like it should've 15 years ago
What do you recommend instead?
as long as you are prepared to learn and appreciate the ways,
Yup I am - I have a cheap windows laptop for this reason!
What's better than notepad++? Interested for home and work use.

Sublime Text is a lot better, you can use it for free but it does pop up a "please pay for me" message every now and then. Not enough to be irritating, and I liked it so much I ended up paying for a license which is valid across all platforms.
The new atom.io editor isn't bad, but seems to be a bit more resource heavy (at least on linux). I haven't tried it yet on Windows, I just use Sublime Text there.

That does look good... cheers.

Should say I'm using v2, not the new v3 (not tried that yet). BTW it's well worth learning basic regular expressions to get the most out of it.
Oh I know my regexes etc. - that's part of the appeal. Looks like it might let me do some stuff in editor that I normally drop to a command line and grep/awk/sed.

Definitely, including things like search using () in your regex and replace using $1, that kind of stuff. Find all is great, and allows you to type in multiple places at one.
Also I am pretty sure Visual Studio is only available on Windows, that's essential for creating Windows Phone apps.
Just spotted this, coincidentally.

Code is free and available on your favorite platform - Linux, Mac OSX, and Windows.
This Is New I think.
Yeah announced last night, on my list of things to look at. More exciting for work TBH, Linux is crying out for a decent c++ IDE but that's another flame war 😉
MS are way more cross platform these days.
That a pair of Titan Xs? They yours? Considering some (or quadro M6000) for a new work machine and I'd be interested in how you find them, especially Linux OpenGL stuff and multi monitor 4k.
And I already mentioned earlier in the thread that macs are no good if you need really high end kit - my work kit is all PC partly for this reason. Tho a Mac Pro is more portable than anything with a pair of Titans in it.
It's not mine, a friends' 🙁
