Notepad++ has a certain classic “Back when Windows was cool” appeal.

VSCode is cumbersome with a photoshop-like startup and a welcome screen and project manager and blah blah blah for just wanting to see “What’s in this file real quick…”

I used to like Atom while that was still a thing.

Now for taking notes or editing simple files, it’s always Kate. Follows my dark theme too! :D
