Text Editors

I use npp as an all-around lightweight tool for opening any kind of file with text in it. I don't usually don't want to open a full blown editor when all I need is to look or tweak a few things. Also npp simply persists the files instead of asking me if I want to save the file every time.

That is of course, if I don't already have a code editor open. Either way I tend to prefer editing text that is unrelated to the code outside of the code editor just to keep it clean.

I don't code, but n++ is my go to for all text files because for my job I open A LOT of log files. Sometimes with tens of thousands of lines. I don't need an IDE but I do need a very powerful text editor.

Imo prose handles very differently. I use nvim for everything but there are definitely times that I fire up Sublime Text when I want to do long-form writing.

Prose has very different requirements; I don't need the word "this" highlighted, I don't need the word Date capitalized every time I write it.
