Tripredacus Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I don't see the benefit of Notepad++ over the SciTE editor. What are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_A Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Well, they're both based on Scintilla, along with Notepad2 and a bunch of others so quite a few similarities. Notepad++ does twice as many UI languages, file format conversion (i.e. ASCII <=> UTF8 <=> UTF16) overlapping and splittable windows, etc. etc. ... Thre's also a bunch of plugins for Notepad++, some of which I use. If you speak French, for example, there's only Notepad++. (SciTE seems to have abandoned it) OTOH if you use Linux, there's only SciTE (with GTK+) because Notepad++ & Notepad2 are Windows only. For more info, you could read the comparison on Wikipedia: Comparison of text editors . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
