I like this magazine vibe, it reminds me of the good ol' l33t zines from the late '80s and '90s. However, if I can offer a suggestion, I'd also pair the technical articles with a little more punky, down-to-earth stuff. They were cheerful, informal, and full of that cheeky, irreverent, cocky smart-ass humor, plus this mysterious edge that made them absolutely magnetic to me. Life just wasn’t so heavy back then.
I got both Sublime and VSCode. Sublime is a work of love. You can probably do more things with vscode, but I'm not sure you can do many of these things better or faster than sublime. I don't think so.
This time I unfortunately have to move on from Notepad++. Vibes have been negative for a while but out of inertia (and because there weren't obvious alternatives) I never pulled the trigger. Now it's time. The trust is gone.
Thanks NP++ for being free and useful for so many years.
Can anyone suggest a solid alternative on Windows? I'm fine with Linux and macOS but I have to keep a Windows machine around for some legacy, win only, software.
Maybe Sublime Text could be an option? At this point I'd rather pay for something lightweight, fast, and probably better.
I don't like tooling that increases my exposure to bad state actors (whatever state they're from).
