Notepad++ seems to be only Windows. Seems would be better to support a cross-platform text editor.

It also seems to be the third most popular dev environment overall (behind VS and VS Code, ahead of Sublime Text and Vim): https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2018/#development-...

It's not a very interesting target (most of these are not), but it's safe to say it's a valid target.

You have it backwards.

It isn't about promoting open source products. It's about defending against open source products that are already being used. Likely heavily used within the EU institution itself.

I believe Software are selected based on the usage. So if it is most used editor, they should sponsor it irrespective of the OS.

Of that list, Notepad++ is the only product I use, so I'm happy with their decision :D
