I have been using Notepad++ in my Windows machine for some years and it’s one of favorite code editors. In recent years, I have been slowly moving to MacOS machines from Windows and in my MacOS machine I have installed Atom as my code editor. Although I use Atom for simple code editing but return to my Notepad++ for other operations, like comparison, find & replace etc. I love side side code comparison and code highlighting of Notepad++. Over the years, I have tested other code editors: Sublime Text, Bracket and others but still my favorite have been Notepad++ on my Windows machine.
Recently I have been reading from many developers posts that Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code is their choice of code editors. Most developers seem to look Microsoft’s product with suspicion, the Visual Code editor seems to be an exception. It has been written highly by many developer and I thought to give it a try for my MacOS machine.
In next couple of months, I will install in my both MacOS & Windows machine, learn how to use it and evaluate whether it is suitable for my purpose or not?
