    gedit and kate are better alternatives honestly. and with their security practices i would rather be without.

      Interesting, what are their bad security practices?

      I have kate but it’s way behind notepad++, IMO! Will check out gedit, thanks.

        they did their autoupdate through an unencrypted connection, without any verification, and just executed the payload locally. when pressed about it they added https but then it turned out they had no auth on the update server. it was a whole thing, took several years for them to correct and they complained every step.
