got me a new job and now I have a windows workstation because of ArcGIS…
But besides clicking about in the gis suite, I also occasionally encounter various textfiles (.tex, .xml, .py and so on), so I need a text editor.
What's the Jow Forums approved text editor for windows?
I'm used to Kate, but I guess IT won't be too happy if I ask them to install the whole, experimental KDE for windows suit.
Notepad++ used to be the standard, it seems, but I never really grew fond of it, plus, it's kinda bloated and convoluted.
And I'd rather not get me the hip, new electron meme.
so what else is there?

I always postponed learning it (and/or emacs, for that matter), but I can't be

already in my first weeks after starting.
What offers does Mircosoft have for text editors, besides notepad?
Of course we are also a MS office shop, but word isn't really suited to the task.
Sublime?
Metapad
Akelpad
Just use Notepad++. Don't get a reputation of being the guy who always asks IT for your special snowflake software.
sublime text and notepad++ are my favorites. for .tex i use texmaker
vs code
You can try PSPad.

>Don't get a reputation of being the guy who always asks IT for your special snowflake software.
But it has some weird animal as a logo and looks like something straight out of windows95. Personally, I don't care, but that already seems snowflakeish to me. So I just want someting modern and unconspicuous.
>vs code
looks neat, but isn't that also electron?
I'm going to get mocked but honestly vs code and atom are fine if you have an office workstation with a ton of ram anyway
Anything non-mainstream is going to be a pain in someone's ass.
But if you insist... Geany is what you want.
I use notepad2
geany works well on windows
>with a ton of ram anyway
I don't. And with esri anything, such a thing does not exist in the first place.
>Anything non-mainstream is going to be a pain in someone's ass.
Thing is, we apparently do not have any mainstream editor that everyone uses, and I don't have a preference for windows stuff, I'm used to linux.
>But if you insist... Geany is what you want.
Uh, that weird, gnome-ish piece of shit with a lamp as an icon that finally trigered me to download all KDE dependencies to be able to get a sane editor? No thanks.
Wow, how much more retarded can you be?
SciTE

>SciTE shares some features with other editors based on the Scintilla editing component such as Geany and Notepad++.
Hm, maybe that's why I don't really like Notepad++ and hate Geany. Probably don't like Scintilla, then. But I can't even point my finger at what exactly irks me, it's just kinda "off".

Confirmed retard.

Notepad2

No need to ask IT.

But seriously, it's the best text editor out there.
This but unironically
I used notepad++
just change the icon if you or your coworkers are too autistic
also use the HotFudgeSundae theme under style configurator, or ZenBurn, or Choco.
>, it's just kinda "off".
For fucks sake you FUCKING faggot just install MacOS at your job and start sucking your bosses dick holy shit
>fucking electron app
op is a snowflakey faggot
I'd love to do so, but there's just two problems with that:
>ArcGIS doesn't run on OSX.
>I'm more a getting your dick sucked kind of guy, and the sucker ought to be female (female).
Aren't we all? But I guess you just use windows with everyting in default and ios, because everything else is snowflake.
Notepad++ is the only one that is worth using.
>plus, it's kinda bloated and convoluted.
dat low memory and CPU usage say different
I mean, the "macro" and "run" menus and the spellchecker are hot garbage, but can be easily ignored
textadept
this
Notepad++'s dev is a sack of shit for pulling that stunt of including an auto-typed political message in an update (Charlie Edition). Switched ever since then and I have no plan of going back.
>ArcGIS
Hope you got interop extension to make this turd somewhat usable.
>approved text editor for windows?
