Geany VS NotepadNext

You might want to at least use a code editor with syntax highlighting so that it gets a little easier to read the code. Personally I use Geany but there are many other ones you can use.

right on the main page, there is a screenshot. If you click it, it takes you to more screenshots.

Open https://www.geany.org/ in a web browser like chrome or firefox

Check out Geany. It is free, open source, cross platform, and lightweight. It has support for dozens of coding languages. LINK: https://www.geany.org/

I still enjoy Geany. It is lacking certain features I could do with, but it's joyful to use something that light: https://www.geany.org/

When I installed my IDE I just wanted something lightweight, so I went with Geany. I've been using it for years without trouble.

I would say, try out geany: https://www.geany.org/

Geany. Nothing can beat that one. - https://www.geany.org/

> Plugin compatibility between NN and N++ is not possible.

Shame, since N++'s plugin ecosystem holds quite the treasure trove of functionality.

there is another OpenSource - Cross-Platform (Windows, Linux, etc) - Notepad/Notepad++ Alternative:

There's NotepadNext (https://github.com/dail8859/NotepadNext), it's fairly new and based on Notepad++, personally, at the moment I use Atom.

Or alternatively there is a cross-platform project here that attempts to remake Notepad++ but as cross platform (Notepad Next).

> And finally, it's always great to see Lazarus software, it's one of the nicer ways to create GUI software and largely sidesteps some of the framework related issues that other languages face...

The insanity involved around hating on Object Pascal is just a damn shame. Lazarus is fantastic, for the desktop. And so are a lot of software projects created with Lazarus. The few gripes that I have with the project, is the very odd refusal to fully embrace mobile development.

They have a kind of half-way solution, for just Android and not iOS, from an independent developer not on the Lazarus team and who they seem to want to keep at an arm's length. I don't know if Embarcadero (Delphi) is paying them to not touch mobile development, but it's quite weird that they don't want to go in that very obvious direction. Lazarus as a complete solution for both the desktop and mobile, would have people shook. However, the clock is ticking, because there are a number of more comprehensive desktop and mobile development solutions coming. Lazarus should have and arguably could have come out with their combined solution years ago.

Check out Notepad Next for Linux. Everyone is talking about Notepadqq but in my experience it seems to be outdated and not feature complete. I enjoy Notepad Next much more.
