Lightweight, flexible, simple application for efficient code notes

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use gedit to quickly test out ideas for code. The easy language-specific formatting of edit allows me to move seamlessly between languages, which is helpful when moving between projects. The color coding is helpful in formatting my ideas, and the lightweight software is a lot more self-contained than opening up more bulky editors.

Pros

  • Lightweight software
  • Color-coded formatting
  • Many language options for formatting

Cons

  • Little in the way of type hints or formatting suggestions
  • Purely an editor- no way to test the code
  • No way to pin or quickly search for your favorite languages; the scrolling is somewhat cumbersome

Likelihood to Recommend

I find it really helpful to cut and paste some of my code, or test out my ideas, using gedit. The software is quick to install and is flexible for use with a lot of different software languages. This is a pure editor that is, in my opinion, the premier notes app for coders.
