Notepad2 or Notepad++ and why? [closed]

Why should I choose one over the other, or should I go another way?

Solution 1:

I've used them both, and Notepad++ is head and shoulders above Notepad2. It's not even a contest.

At a glance, Notepad++ seems a little more feature rich to me. They're both based on the same framework, Scintilla.

But like Chris says, they're both free. Try both.

Also, feel free to use Vim or emacs.

Of course you could always use butterflies like real programmers
