Notepad++ - This piece of software is a very advanced form of Notepad. Fuck that basic Notepad shit that Windows or any other OS gives you. This one is all you’ll ever need for basic note-taking needs. But it does a hell of a lot more. One thing I love about it is that, if for any reason I put my PC to sleep, it crashes, power outage, I can run this again and everything I’ve ever written and no matter how many tabs - it’s all retained.

AIMP - The definitive media player that you’ll ever need for just playing stuff (music only, sorry if I mislead those thinking it can do video). Winamp and all the other software are just around for nostalgia (though Winamp has it’s uses where you need it to play specific formats like video game music such as SNES with .SPC). One feature that attracted me to it was, it used to infuriate me when I am playing something and something crashes in any other media player. And you boot up that media player and you have to play your playlist all over again or that song from the beginning.

Not AIMP, if I accidentally close it, crash or whatever, I can bring it back up and it’ll have the song or whatever on Pause so I can resume. Why isn’t shit like this more implemented in software?

      Literally how? If you’re talking about the toolbars, it looks like literally any text editor. If you’re talking about the text, that’s probably because you’re not used to looking at monospace rendered text. It’s much better when you’re editing anything technical. If you don’t need advanced features you don’t need N++.

        LMFAO. You must be a troll?

        One literally looks like it’s from the 90s, the other respects modern design.

        Can you read my comment? Or are you one of those rabid FOSS enthusiasts who will stab themselves with a rusty nail if it’s free? I talked about the fucking appearance of the notepad.

          As I said, if you don’t need advanced features you don’t need N++. If you’re happy with notepad you are definitely not the target audience lol.

              I already addressed your complaints about the look; it’s all for functionality and technical features which you clearly do not need. You don’t get to expose a rich feature set without complicating the UI.

                Again with the strawman. Why do you dislike the idea that your shitty software has shitty looks so much that you need to construct a whole-ass argument for me in your head?

                Oh that’s right, you’re a cretin.

                  I guess because it’s better than interfacing with your lack of an argument and ableist slurs?

                    Me not responding to your strawman doesn’t make me lack an argument, you haven’t even addressed the fact that I’m correct about how bad N++ looks because that would make you have to admit I’m right lmao.

                    In your case the insults are more than likely disableist actually. You sound retarded.
