(Graphical) IDE’s are great for development, but they’re slow to start and heavy to run. Sometimes you just want to take a quick look at an xml or dockerfile and you don’t want to spin up the whole IDE for that.

I’ve recently rediscovered notepad++ for that (on windows), what’s your prefered easy-acces-tekst-editor?

    Hadn’t looked into that for a long time, will try. I think the biggest hurdle for me might be native Windows terminals still being shit.

        It’s the best solution for editing huge text files in Windows. The other text editors slow to a crawl with big files, but gvim has no problem.
