what is the point of creating a version of notepad++ to emulate in wine and which will be much slower than a hard code program in snap when there is notepadqq which has a 99% similar interface with the functions and which develops in qt ?

and who of course and already present on snap

https://github.com/notepadqq/notepadqq

sudo snap install notepadqq

Hi andykimpe, 2 things I would note:

  1. This is not an "issue", it is fine to release similar software, if you don't want to use it it is OK.
  2. I believe notepadqq does not support installation of plugins, whereas I can easily set up plugins like NPPFTP right away in this app. So yes, there are features differences.

it works for users that are familiar with so it doesn't matters as long as it does the job.
