Why MS hasn't doen more to notepad is beyond me.
|
|

|

Because they do provide Wordpad!

Notepad in Win11 has numerous upgrades.
Personally, Win11's Notepad is second or third rate to NP++, so I still use NP++ as my primary.
I'd like to get a version of Win10's Notepad for Win11 for the quick-n-dirty needs. I wanted to see Notepad updated ... but once I got it, I wanted it back the way it was. 
UPDATE:
The old version of Notepad is installed on Win11. This page has instructions for being able to use both the new and old versions.

Just for reference, I don't agree with blocking apps like Notepad++. But, if I had to hazard a guess as to why this is, remember a company cares about support more than the product itself. If an enterprise relies on a piece of software that's dead in the water and they can't find support for it, it can be a problem. Money isn't always the first consideration for companies. Notepad++ just probably got caught in the wake.
I mean git and VS Code are free. I bet they allow those right?
There are alternatives to Notepad++ that do really well. UltraEdit is still around and it's still pretty awesome. Higher learning curve, but if support is the main concern then it's hard to go wrong with that. Also, you could meet in the middle and get Sublime Text. That's what I use instead of Notepad++ because personally, I find it silly that as programmers we expect to get paid for software but refuse to pay others for the software they create.

Notepad++ was effectively obsoleted by VS Code anyway.

Really, VS Code seems more like an IDE than a general purpose editor...

It's an editor. There are just plugins that can make it ide-ish

I don't think it's acceptable to lock developer PCs down.
It's arguably more important than doing it for everyone else since many developers will probably have more access to more things. I can get that. It's just that it just doesn't work and can't really. It could be good if you want a place to put your feet up, instead of "it's compiling" being the mantra for screwing around, it just becomes "waiting on security hand holding".
Typical corporo-idiocy. I'd imagine you can get someone who knows something about anything to "unban" notepad++.
Alternatively, anon email them a link to your glassdoor review where you outline their draconian lunacy of disallowing notepad++ installations.

For medical application software, there is SOUP
The IT department will then be more concerned about the development process of that software, than other aspects.

I think its because they don't like walking upstairs (they have a nice air-conditioned office) to where the trolls work. We are Medical Adjacent so SOUP is known. Why in ![Green Alien | [Alien]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/alien.gif) 's name do they use Python for some stuff...

I am impressed w/ this fellow's work. I had utilized his text editor many years ago but am too tight fisted to purchase now. So I utilize NotePad++ and BowPad.

How much of really bad code have you seen?
I've seen plenty.
Definitely more bad than good.
I've got this theory that at least 90% of programmers are a bunch of bunglers who don't understand basic OOP principles, or any other programming best practices for that matter.
I also think the programming industry isn't unique.
Which would mean at least 90% of all people are just bad at their jobs, including builders, doctors, surgeons, politicians, judges... 
And the remaining 10% still make mistakes

Right now I'm helping with a project that monitors an animal's health and safety, and even though it's not a human, I am extra careful with my code, and it makes me nervous, but good nervous because I check my work.

That's how I feel when I write any code. Even if the consequences are "only" financial, the last thing I want is for the blame to be laid at my door.

I have levels of careful.
For most professional code, my careful involves making sure there's a QA/QC process in place because I don't believe people are effective at testing our own code, for the same reason we aren't good at proofreading our own resumes or CVs.
So there's a limited amount of due diligence I employ before I decide that I'm wasting money. Because I won't be able to catch my corner cases anyway.
Now, I could do TDD for this particular project, and that might be the best way to go about it, even though *usually* my firmware is small enough, and the test matrix small enough that it's not cost effective. But usually I'm not looking after animals. However, I don't own this codebase. I'm just a consultant doing some of the development.
