  Notepad++ on windows is kind of the GOAT IMO.

    The search and replace UX is 10 years behind. The sole reason I use sublime text instead

      I’m a happy sublime user myself but the search UI is one thing I particularly don’t like about it.

      Npp has normal, with special characters and regex, does sublime has something better there?

        The regex engine was not full featured last time I tried. Done know which implementation they use, but it was lacking basic features like end of line matching (if I remember correctly).

        They said UI, so I don’t think they meant features. But honestly I’ve never been unhappy with their UI, aside from one day with multiple replaces across a few files where the autofill from clipboard kept deleting the expression I wanted to be in there as I navigated through what I needed to do.

        But that was fine, anyway, it got through it and I’m just happy with the “apply to all open documents” setting. Saved me at least an hour.
