Fair, I just don't like how cluttered Notepad++ feels.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

I've never heard of notepad++ being referred to as cluttered before. It's fairly spartan in my opinion.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Cluttered compared to Notepad or Sublime Text.

Agreed, coming from regular Notepad there's a lot going on there. The whole point of Notepad was a quick and dirty text editor. If I needed that many options for what I'm writing I'll just fire up Word instead.

That's why I like Sublime - it's powerful enough to be my main code editor, and clean enough to jot down some quick notes.

Huh, never heard of Sublime before. I'll give that a try!

The developer is also Australian, so it's still a good option if you're boycotting US products.

Some people would call that "functionality".

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Sublime Text has all that functionality and more without stealing precious screen space from your valuable text.

Never used Sublime Text but just from the screenshots on their site looks like the only real difference is the menu bars? Do you have to reference the documentation to look up keyboard shortcuts on all the stuff you don't do often?

No, it's not vi.

What is enshittification?

The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source

The lifecycle of Big Internet

We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.

Embrace, extend and extinguish

We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.
