        Microsoft Visual Studio Code.

        It’s free and open source, available for Windows, Mac, and Linux (Debian/Ubuntu & Red Hat/Fedora). And it is extensible with plug-ins for many languages.

              i know that I’m late but i think the built-in program text edit is the same. been using it for a while and it works.

                        I recently discovered ‘Brackets’ by Adobe; it’s excellent. It’s not on the AppStore, but if you google it, you’ll find it easily. Completely free, and hundreds of optional extensions for themes, fonts etc to add on. I highly recommend it.

                                        Hello,
                                        I am actually working on porting Notepad++ to macOS. If you have any coding experience with Objective-C or Swift, it would be appreciated if you could help me.

                                            I like Atom, but Notepad++ is more lightweight so I prefer it. If you need any help in developing a version for mac, I offer my knowledge and my time.
