When was the last time you used Notepad?

[Train]

I use NotePad2 instead

have it set to the default for almost every kind of non-binary file.

Daily. I occasionally even use it for HTML, but it's not my primary editor by any means.

 

[Tweak155]

I use notepad a lot. It is a good simple text editor when I need to edit code or store flat data. I think most programmers appreciate notepad in some sense.

Every single work day.

 

[darkewaffle]

Most days, both at work and at home.

 

[JMapleton]

I use it for storing code.

 

[Fritzo]

I use it daily to strip code out of HTML generated text.

 

[bignateyk]

I use it all the time for jotting random things down when I don't feel like opening word up.

Today. I saved a new serial number in it and put it with my downloaded installation files for easy cut and paste access.

Is there a notepad type program that also allows you to draw(like diagrams)?

I can't believe I'm bumping an Arcadio thread.

Since, I revived this thread. Anybody know of a good one?

I use OneNote, lets you dump pretty much anything, files, texi, images, tables, diagrams.

It sites in the systray and auto saves everything.

One thing I use notepad++ for is editing whitespace characters that were inadvertently changed before I check in code.

I see to have more problems with this than most other developers. It must a setting in my IDE.

 

[AMDZen]

Anyone who still uses notepad, and not one of the many superior replacements (namely notepad ++) should lose their nerd card / techy card and remove themselves from this forum

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

Daily. If I have to open a really big file as text I use notepad++ since regular notepad chokes on them.

 

[irishScott]

I usually use wordpad, even then only for editing the occasional txt file. On my Arch Linux partition I use vim for almost everything.
