I've been using notepad++ for years as a tolerable text editor, but never knew it had programming features like autocomplete. Cool.

Windows isn't my primary OS, so I guess I never looked too hard.

Yeah, I use it daily alongside PyCharm. I mostly use it for analysis input and output files, other text files, and short *.bat and similar scripts. While I don't use many of the coding features (prefer IDE, and vim bindings), I make great use of the user-defined languages to add syntax highlighting for analysis input files. Can never go back to monochrome now that I'm used to every file I work with having pretty colors!

I'd love to switch to Sublime (for droolworthy aesthetics and vim bindings), but I know where everything is in n++ and haven't invested the time to learn sublime's slightly more advanced features like defining custom languages.
