Notepad++

I discovered Notepad++ (a text editor) only today. I decided that it was about time I abandoned Notepad (I work almost entirely on the Windows platform) for a more programming-friendly text editor. So I began searching on Wikipedia for the best text editor. I love the way Wikipedia arranges its software pages. There’s always a page available with a list of softwares of a particular category (text editors, in this case) and there always a software comparison page. Of course, most of the softwares have a page of their own.

I went to the list of text editors and randomly started clicking on the different links, and I came to the Notepad++ page. The description was perfect! It seemed to have everything that I wanted and supports every programming language that I can think of! And of course its features too. It was tailor-made for programmers. So I downloaded and installed it immediately.

I think this is going to be one of the more useful softwares on my comp. I have this whole cartload of softwares installed, most of which I never use. Every time I see a new software, I get excited by what it can do and install it immediately. It then just lies there occupying space and I forget about it.
