(Graphical) IDE’s are great for development, but they’re slow to start and heavy to run. Sometimes you just want to take a quick look at an xml or dockerfile and you don’t want to spin up the whole IDE for that.

I’ve recently rediscovered notepad++ for that (on windows), what’s your prefered easy-acces-tekst-editor?

As often as not, I’m using nano on the command line. It’s available in Windows through WSL.

Being honest, WSL makes running Windows so much easier.

Wsl is nice, but it’s not much more than an integrated vm. It’s good enough to be an asset, but it also lacks enough to make me long for linux.
