Notepad++ is one of my favourite editors, now it is forbidden by IT and checked for on security compliance checks if still installed, thanks to this attack.

Yeah, the trust has been burned and the blog post wasn't very reassuring. Safe to say that it will be a long time before it's built back up.

Same, but there are 2 basic key features - tabs, and spell check. There are other nice-to-haves but these are the big ones.

Notepad has those features too now.

Notepad also has a *#&!$ CoPilot button, but at least you can still turn that off the in the settings.

You are missing what are actually relevant for me, syntax highlighting, tab completion, projects, and plugins.

Notepad has nothing of that.

True, I should have said "2 basic key features for me" etc.

YMMV.
