Notepad++ for macOS Postavljač teme: CafeTran Trainer

It’s finally there, and as a native macOS app: the famous Notepad++ from Windows now as Notepad++ for macOS. https://notepad-plus-plus-mac.org
The app is Apple Developer ID-signed and notarized, so macOS Gatekeeper won't give you any trouble. It feels right at home on a Mac, with native menus, file pickers, and keyboard shortcuts.

On the Authors of Notepad++ page, it says: "The port is written in Objective-C++ on top of Scintilla and Cocoa (the "right way" instead of a Wine wrapper), and multi-agent AI development workflows are what make a one-person project at this scale practical." (emphasis mine)

I'm assuming your emphasis is meant to convey that you disapprove. Is this true?

As a Windows user, I can't imagine working without Notepad++, whether it's for writing Python code, making simple notes, updating websites or editing large text files.
I hope this helps others port it to Linux. Once I asked an open-source software developer why so many of them used VSCode. Apparently, there's no good general text editor available on Linux, unless you want to use vi/vim or Emacs in the terminal.

On the other hand, note that Don Ho, the creator of Notepad++, isn't happy with this development. He called it fake and a trademark violation. It's a red flag that the person who did this didn't ask for permission to use the name. The code may be open source, but that doesn't mean you can copy the brand.
You could also try another version which might be less polished. ▲ Collapse

Wow, now that does change things. Separate from the issue of whether it's good or bad to code with AI, I don't think the person should be stealing the Notepad++ name or code!

The developer of the Mac app writes:
ANNOUNCEMENT
In coordination with Don Ho, the creator of the original Notepad++, I'll be evolving the branding of the macOS version so it stands on its own while respecting its lineage. These updates, such as a new logo, a refined name, and likely a new domain will ship with version 1.0.6 in the coming days. Continuity for existing users is a priority, and I'll make the transition as seamless as I can. Thank you for your patience

I just love it when a person who is not good at software development uses a machine that is not good at software development – and has been based on plagiarism, theft and pollution – to make something and then brag about it as if it were some sort of miraculous achievement.
How not to emphasize this! Vibe-coders are really smart, so smart! Some would say they are the smartest of all. It's wonderful what people can achieve when their moral compass points South.
