Text editors and IDEs
Text editors and Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) are powerful tools for programming and writing code. However, we suggest using a word processor for writing documents. There are numerous options for text editors and IDEs, and we have compiled a list of some of them in our software installation script.
By default we have Notepad installed. If you're looking to spice it up, check some of the options below.
Notepad++
Notepad++ is a text editor that is more advanced than Notepad. It allows you to easily write code or documents. Notepad++ is highly customizable, making it a versatile tool for power users.
