Darn, it did it again! Emptied one of my files. The only reason I bother to use NPP is that the alternatives are even worse.

Whats the alternative youre referring to?

You should consider switching to Brackets, or even better... Atom.

@nabil6131 Eclipse and Aptana. OK, I'm aware that the latter derives from the former :)

@aayusharyan
Had a look at Brackets's web site - or at least tried, and it said: "The owner of brackets.io has configured their website improperly.

@aayusharyan Atom looks great at a first glance. I'll definitely give this one a go. Thanks for the tip! :)

@TerriToniAX i use sublimeText for lightweight text editing. Works great for me.

@TerriToniAX Might be some issue with the website though

@aayusharyan Installed Atom and it does indeed look good at a first glance with a friendly welcome guide to get you started. But the user-friendliness ends when it comes to setting up an FTP browser. There are like zillions (OK, I'm exaggerating just a tad) of different plugins (whereas NPP just had one), and so far I haven't manage to get any of them up and running. No, Atom is far too cumbersome and provides an ununified user experience. It's like a source code counterpart of some heavily third-party dependant CMS, like Wordpress.

@aayusharyan Yes, it must have been a temporary issue with Brackets's web site, like you said. I managed to reach it now :)

@TerriToniAX
Brackets looks good too, but nothing works. "Internal error" when trying to install any plugin. No, Notepad++ sucks, but I'll stick to it till there is a convincing and free alternative.

@TerriToniAX try brackets, it's way simplified than Atom

@aayusharyan Already did, but nothing works. "Internal error" when trying to install any plugin. No, Notepad++ sucks, but I'll stick to it till there is a convincing and free alternative.
