- The good
- Free and open source.
- Support for multiple tabs.
- Support for plugins.
- The bad
- Support for programming languages is limited.
AkelPad offers functionality well beyond that of Microsoft's classic Notepad software, but it remains limited compared to other programs such as Geany, Notepad ++, Atom or Komodo edit, especially for creating and editing codes.
A major difference between Classic Notepad and AkelPad lies in the support of plugins. In Notepad, the features are limited and you can not do anything about it. AkelPad offers plug-ins that extend its functionality. These include, for example, the AutoComplete and Code Highlighting features.
