minus-squaregrandel ( grandel@lemmy.ml ) linkfedilinkarrow-up6·3 years agoI’ve switched from NPP years ago. Can somebody please explain why it’s so popular?
minus-squarem-p{3} ( mp3@lemmy.ca ) linkfedilinkarrow-up5·3 years agoIt’s snappier and more private than VSCode at the very least.
minus-squareAzzy ( AzzyDev@beehaw.org ) linkfedilinkarrow-up3·3 years agoidk why people don’t just use codium instead
minus-squareIrritableOcelot ( IrritableOcelot@beehaw.org ) linkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 years agoBecause of the snappiness – codium is no faster than code. For me, NPP is used for making single-word changes to a bunch of files in a row–like vim, but a GUI.
