For me its Everything, makes finding files extremely fast and easier than with Windows Explorer
Notepad++. Tons of features, macro capabilities, plenty of useful plugins. Its a great all around multi tool interface for file editing.
np++ is still my go to for ad hoc note taking. there are a million beautiful apps for this purpose, but nothing beats the fast startup of np++. Plus you can rename tabs without saving them and just keep them indefinitely. For some reason, no other app lets you do this, they all require saving the file.
Why would you ever want to not save a file?
I do this all the time. I pull up an editor, take notes on something I’m doing because I can’t always fit it all in my mind I don’t need to save the note cause, it was just a temporary place to store data/info/thoughts.
I get that for quick notes, but I don’t get it when it’s something that is stored indefinitely.
Maybe packrats of the mind? Really requires an extremely good search engine for all that. I find that storing everything doesn’t work for me because, ultimately, I have trouble finding it again.
Grub, probably
I second Everything, it’s pretty great. One of the things that irks me if I have to go to a different PC.

Obsidian. I’ve been looking for a way to write and search notes as text files for years and it’s exactly what I needed.
