Consultant 

It’s been a lifesaver on more than one occasion for my work. Great features, just works consistently all the time, and you can’t argue with the free price tag.

Web & Graphic Designer

Great software for speed, it's great for taking notes. I would not recommend it for programming.

Technician Services 

Have been using it for more than 15 years with great success. The application is well supported on all operating systems which offers portability in its use across all platforms.

Sales Manager

It is only compatible for Windows-based computers. Personally, I have no objections, but there are those who are anxious for it to be usable on other operating systems.

QA engineer 

Overall it has been great, an awesome tool for quick checks a small scripting tasks as well as log files browsing. Keep in mind that there are other tools which may be a better fit for your needs.

Love all the plugins they got, the multi file search and replace feature is amazing and so useful and time saving.

GIS Business Consultant

Another great feature is that you can switch between several encoding charsets really easy. For people that work with programming languages, It supports good markup styling.

Lead Quality Analyst

It has quite a lot of very useful and important features which overall reduces cost and effort in any industry. The fact it supports a lot of languages makes it even more useful.

Software Quality Engineer

It is really helpful application and very useful for beginners in coding. It gives an easy to use UI which makes things easy and help you understand codes.

software developer

It is only limited to windows and have limited features and functionality. And also have problem with opening large files.

Junior dev

The best thing about notepad++ is that it autosaves the file, provides custom regex operations for modifications in the file and it makes the file easy to read by its good UI.

Data Scientist

It does not work as an IDE. It also sucks that there is no error detection.

Jr. Software Engineer

Notepad++ is an extremely solid, reliable product that shines as a stable of the development community, among others.

Notepad++ is a powerful and easy to use text/code editor. It is also free to use and has simple functionality which helps developers to code.

Web developer 

Easy installation and setup; extensible ; integrates with windows explorer shell ; updates frequently; supports multiple programming languages ; good search and replace features.

IT Specialist

I hate the function save all as if you click on it and now it’s a mess you have to click close close till all your open file ends.

Information Engineer

Free software with the ability to open almost any file and format it in a readable way. Has integration with many vendors, like cisco firewall configs.

Developer

Open source and community contributions are fantastic.

Ionic

Software Developer

I love Angular and therefore love that Ionic uses the Angular platform. Ionic is very intuitive for an Angular developer.

CEO, CTO

I like the fundamental idea of a common javascript codebase for all our front end apps. I like Angular so it's a match made in heaven.

it specialist

I like the Ionic CLI which makes all configurations quick and makes it very easy to troubleshoot application issues. Cross-platform UI option that works on the same device and supports Angular.

Great flexible development platform with a huge potential.

Senior Software Engineer 

Feel like a native application is one of the key feature Ionic is having. Its feature to code once and deploy multiple times is very useful and saves lots of efforts in terms of money and time.

Also the setup process for a new team member once your app is large enough gets stupidly complicated.

Occasionally there is a problem with integration, but nothing that can't be solved, there are messages like "Scrolling problem" after deploying some features.

Despite the drawbacks, it's a good solution to start building a PWA or hybrid app. You can start with little code copy-paste from the tutorial and have "something" to start building on.

It's a handful to install and configure, both on Android and iOS. Did not make it easier with a beta release installed of Xcode.

Ionic screenshot: Move faster with Appflow – native builds, app publishing, live updates, and the ability to automate all of it.

Ionic screenshot: The easy way for web teams to add new features and screens to native apps in a safe, controlled way. Each Portal is a focused experience that delivers specific features and functionality, and is entirely self-contained.
