(Graphical) IDE’s are great for development, but they’re slow to start and heavy to run. Sometimes you just want to take a quick look at an xml or dockerfile and you don’t want to spin up the whole IDE for that.

I’ve recently rediscovered notepad++ for that (on windows), what’s your prefered easy-acces-tekst-editor?

    • Large files or no formatting required: EmEditor (Windows only, proprietary, expensive, but fast :D)
    • Formatting some file: VsCode
    • SqlLite queries over CSVs: Notepad++
