I wasn't aware until this issue that Notepad++ event still existed, I've always used Sublime Text on Windows since the moment I've discovered it.

It's been 10 years since I use it and I would not change it for the world :)

I may have a go at this sometime @oktapodia , but since I develop on a Mac I'll have to setup the environment on my PC first.

+1 for this. I like ST2/3 as well, but I also really like Notepad++. It certainly isn't any more of an editor for Grandpa than VIM is and for those who like doing remote editing via FTP, nnpftp is (for me at least) more functional than sFTP for Sublime.

NPP has all the features I like in a PHP/JS/HTML editor:

• loads very fast (I am looking at you Komodo Edit)
• multi-select/multi-edit
• various and varied plugins to enhance the features of the editor core (Emmet, function list/CTags)
• autocomplete
• ability to complete most/all tasks via keyboard
• FTP file explorer for remote editing
• ability to use various color schemes to be good on my eyes and look mahvelous (it's better to look good than feel good, baby)... this is where you come in @daylerees ;) There are good schemes available already but I like several of yours more than any I can find for NPP.

NPP lacks compared to ST2/3 in terms of editing assistance (auto brackets, spacing, column alignment, etc) but there are decent plugins to make them almost on par. The only big drawback to NPP vs. ST imho is support for Windows only. I will continue to use ST on Ubuntu, I guess. And NPP is free (though I already own a ST license, so that wasn't a deciding factor).
