(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?

    Sublime Text 3 perpetual license. I would move to VSCode as my “quick editor” but I’m not trusting an Electron app, for starters same document in both wastes 3x more RAM and second I can open 10GB SQL dumps in Sublime and perform find and replace operations in VSCode however…
