After 40 years of being free Microsoft has added a paywall to Notepad
If you want full access to Notepad, Microsoft now requires users to pay, with the new changes to 40-year-old software adopting the 'freemium' model.

Notepad++ is my text editor of choice as someone who just edits the occasional file. I'm not a programmer or anything, but it's nice to have those autocomplete and syntax highlighting features for config files. Helps me keep track of stuff better when editing.
Sublime can do all of that as well, but it's more performant, has better shortcut keys, and IMO it has much nicer navigation for larger files (gives you a sort of eagle-eye's view of the entire document next to the scrollbar). That's all very much a personal preference thing of course.
Hell yeah. I just wanted to add another option. I have no opinion regarding Sublime and choice is a good thing. There's something for everyone.
