    Np++ has tabs, plus it autosaves so it can pull out old unsaved text upon reopening. Plus, it has syntaxes highlighting based on the selected coding language. And all the plug-ins for extra functionality.

    Notepad is simple no frills for basic text, but np++ is great for coding (it can sometimes be even better than IDLE for Python coding).

      Yeah, I now realise it could be very useful! I think Notepad in Windows 11 has tabs now but it’s still super barebones.
