I use Notepad++ the majority of time, with Notepad being used occasionally for very basic things like copy/paste temporary info.

I thought I'd give this a go even though I have a number of editors. I chose the portable version - I haven't gone through it completely but from what I've played around with I actually quite like it.

Pros -

Install includes portable option.
Can have light or dark theme.
Toolbar is simple.
Includes useful text editing features that people would most often use - I personally like that it can add numbers to beginning of lines or sort lines alphabetically (useful for list making). Delete lines or characters
Simpler than Notepad ++ which has a lot of advanced program writing options I don't use.
Lifetime licence.

Cons -

I would have liked more font options for the text - font menu options include your own whereas the actual text options are limited to 8 choices. Not a big deal but would have been nice.

No spellcheck.

Help is online.

In conclusion -

Notepad++ has more features useful for programmers, is updated regularly and is always free. Text Edit Plus is for ordinary text use. It's adequate for my needs - it has most of the features I regularly use, though for some not having a spellcheck will be a drawback.

I recommend giving the portable version a try - if you don't like it simply delete the folder, but it's only 6mb so it doesn't take up a lot of space anyway.

I agree with Cassie. Kind of neat to play around with - like the dark mode. It does some things very well but lack of spell check is a huge drawback for me. BUT download link includes portable option (I'm a huge fan of portable!) AND license is lifetime (not limited like so many offerings here have been lately). Thank you Vovsoft (and Giveaway of the Day) - may other developers take notice!

Digit64, There's a little program out there titled "tinySpell" that works pretty well with this and most other text programs. It's current version is 19.63; got my copy from "Softpedia".
