“The venerable Notepad++ text editor began as a more capable version of the classic Windows Notepad. It was created in 2003 by Don Ho, who continues to be its primary author and maintainer, and it has been a Windows-exclusive app throughout its existence.
I’m not a devoted user of the app, but I was aware of its history, which is why I was surprised to see news of a ‘Notepad++ for Mac’ port making the rounds last week.
Apparently, this news surprised Ho as well, who claims that the Mac version and its author, Andrey Letov, are ‘using the Notepad++ trademark (the name) without permission.’”
