First version of the Notepad++ was released in November of 2003, and it very quickly became popular all around the world by allowing professional software development community access to deeply integrated tools for easier managing, oversight and control of written code. This includes tabbed interface, 2 pane mode, code syntax highlighting for more than 50 of the most popular programming, scripting and markup languages in the world, work with multiple open files, and much easier manipulation of large files. It also features themes, support for plugins, automated updater, and native support for managing text, WYSIWYG printing and much more. It can even try to identify programming language user is currently viewing, loading syntax highlighting automatically (manual override is of course present).
Winning countless awards and being downloaded more than 30 million times and translated in 49 languages, Notepad++ represents one of the most commonly found applications on the desktop of every software developer.
