    Trying to honor Notepad++ author’s request to uninstall Notepad++, so I’m looking for any recommendations on good alternatives.

    Thanks.

            Yes and no. Their “evaluation” copy has no time limit.

              It’s not fair to use it…forever :-)

                I agree with you there. I certainly wasn’t trying to imply that people should use it forever without paying. The way I look at it is if the developer wanted to restrict the time limit then they could easily do that. That doesn’t mean users should take advantage of it. The Sublime developers graciously allow the users to decide if and when to pay for it; and users should honor that pricing model. For myself, I have had it installed for a long time, but with as little as I use it I don’t see the justification to purchase it. If I used it heavily I certainly wouldn’t hesitate to pay for it.
