Notepad++ vs CodeLobster IDE: What are the differences?
Developers describe Notepad++ as "Free source code editor and Notepad replacement". Notepad++ is a free (as in "free speech" and also as in "free beer") source code editor and Notepad replacement that supports several languages. Running in the MS Windows environment, its use is governed by GPL License. On the other hand, CodeLobster IDE is detailed as "Free cross-platform IDE for PHP/HTML/CSS/JavaScript development". It is a smart free cross-platform IDE. It streamlines and simplifies the PHP development process. It implements autocomplete features for PHP, HTML, JavaScript and even CSS.
Notepad++ can be classified as a tool in the "Text Editor" category, while CodeLobster IDE is grouped under "Integrated Development Environment".
Some of the features offered by Notepad++ are:
- Syntax Highlighting and Syntax Folding
- User Defined Syntax Highlighting and Folding: screenshot 1, screenshot 2, screenshot 3 and screenshot 4
- PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expression) Search/Replace
On the other hand, CodeLobster IDE provides the following key features:
- PHP, HTML, JavaScript, CSS code highlighting and autocomplete
- PHP Debugger
- Context and Dynamic Help
Since communication with Github is not necessary, the Atom is less convenient in working with text and code. Sublim's support and understanding of projects is best for us. Notepad for us is a completely outdated solution with an unacceptable interface. We use a good theme for Sublim ayu-dark
