You've a lot of reasons to hate Notepad++

[Besansson]

Les numéros de lignes sont en hexadécimal…? Pourquoi ? Pour faciliter la vie des ordinateurs alors que ce sont eux qui doivent nous faciliter la vie ? Bref, c’est nul. Et de plus N++ plante tout le temps avec une barre noire verticale à gauche. J’ai la version 32-bits pour utiliser des plugins indispensables, mais ils ne fonctionnent plus ! Donc adieu.

[rdipardo]

The line numbers are in hexadecimal…? What for? To assist computers, precisely the things that are supposed to assist us? Simply idiotic. And besides that N++ is always crashing [at startup] with [nothing in the buffer except] a vertical black bar on the left [i.e. the caret]. I have the 32-bit version to use the plugins I can’t be without, but they’ve stopped working! So goodbye.

@Besansson, peut-être que nommer ces plugins cassés pourrait permettre à quelqu’un de vous aider…?

@Besansson ,
Au revoir. :-)

Old thread HUH well I’m NEW and I just made an ACCOUNT (you’re welcome, nice trolling with Google Plus Login button!)

So I can say FUCK this!! I was on 8.3.3 and HAPPY, then notepad crashed and I thought - like the stupid monkey-born-before-the-internet I am … I thought

“Oh, It’s Notepad++! They are open source, and programmers and stuff, so they will FOR SURE remember my dark color theme and things won’t look TOO different RIGHT?? Or all the nerds would freak out!”

Bro downloaded this sht and went blind INSTANTLY.
Flip on darkmode and it’s BLACK. with YELLOW LINKS.
I don’t want to spend 30m figuring out what happened to the cool “themes” you used to have or HOW to get this honestly terrible and uncomfortable color scheme to look better but…

Thanks to YOUUU looks like THAT’S what I’ll be doing!

OH and you FORCE me to agree to you guys sending me emails just to comment, so now I gotta go add a filter. Nice.
I’ll never post here again and I love Notepad++, just WTF and I saw this thread. NOT SORRY FOR NECROING :DUMB DEVIL SMILING EMOJI: !!!

(((also yeah dunno what happened but - no politics. You don’t need to tell us and we don’t need to agree with you, just work on the project, thanks)))

Good reminder.

That’s why I am continuing with v8.3.1 and I don’t intend to update to any newer version ever, God forbid, as long as my current w8.1-64bit setup is healthy.

I might be missing some great new features, but new updates hardly give anything worthwhile but they often break the things that had been working pretty well ever since. At this age, I cannot remember how I had earlier put those settings, nor have the energy to do entire research all over again.

So, un-updated software work the best for me.

Thanks.

Don’t complaint just move away to Visual Studio Code
I use to love Notepad++ but unfortunately I’m moving away

[V S Rawat]

@otomazeli Thanks for suggestion.

I downloaded it but sadly. I couldn’t use it. I am on w8.1 and it works only on W10-11.

Shall find if they are having an earlier version that used to work on w8.1-64 bit.

Do keep posting useful softare suggestions.
