Is there a better text editor for windows? One that I can customize, but is still simple, perhaps?

I've never heard of this. Looks pretty old. Is this just some meme bullshit or do people actually use it? (Why not just use Xcode or visual studio???)

anything else is bloat

Vim

>simple yet customizable
vim

Sublime Text. It's free (as in WinRAR) and far more lightweight than any Electr*n app or Emacs.

>Looks pretty old.
It is. 34 years, IIRC.
>Is this just some meme bullshit or do people actually use it?
Yes, people liking different things is all one big joke.
>(Why not just use Xcode or visual studio???)
Because they are shitty and bad. Emacs is not.

Unironically VS Code. Or vim.
>hurr I don't want to learn vim
You're on Jow Forums, don't pretend like you get paid by the minute. If you ever need to ssh into a server, they won't have a cute IDE, they'll have fucking vim.

notepad2
doesnt write to the registry and will only create a notepad2.ini file in the same directory it is run from if 'save settings' is clicked

WordPad
Gedit is brilliant too and it works in windows (havent tested though)

I use Standard Notes.

Vim

This. Keep the actively developed forks of Notepad2 in mind though, for example Notepad2e which is bundled with TortoiseGit.
github.com/ProgerXP/Notepad2e

Metapad. It's a GPL-licensed ANSI C replacement for Notepad. It adds some useful features (font switching, LF support) while still using roughly the same amount of resources as Notepad. It also handles large files better.

does it do highlighting?

Most of these answers are retarded.
What you actually want is Notepad++

No, it's not a code editor.

I use AkelPad because it has just the bare minimum amount of features required in 2019.
> large file support - tried up to 11 GB, went OOM
> CR/LF support, can switch to another format on the fly
> search and replace with regex support
> no tabs, though, because it is a notepad replacement

This, use vscodium or code oss if you don't want to send telemetry to microsoft. It's the only "modern" code editor worth a shit. Works everywhere and has healthy extension development.
