I regret nothing. Say what you want.

Edit: I just saw the two typos. If you find them, you're welcome to keep them.

I used Notepad++ for virtually all coding I did (Python, JS, various Markup Languages, Action Script back in the day, etc) for a couple decades. The only reason I use VSCode now is because I inherited a nightmare of a legacy spaghetti bowl and needed the function tracing to attempt to figure out anything. I still prefer N++ for most small projects.

I'm currently working with some code that partly was written in the punch card era.

Notepad.exe has been my daily driver for anything that doesn't need a compiler for decades.
