It’s what I would use if I ran windows but I run linux and there’s no shortage of text editors for coding. Mousepad, leafpad, gedit, kate, kwrite, featherpad and many more. Some are specific to a programming language. I use leafpad and mousepad for general purpose stuff and sublime for code.
Well I truthfully like using the HTML editing features of Notepad++. It is a great HTML editor as well as a great text editor. But we all have our own pet editors for whatever reasons. Good luck with yours.
Dude, I’m a “vi” guy for anything *nix.
