I eventually gave up on Notepad++ because I became increasingly frustrated with the syntax highlighting inconsistencies.

I was trying to get Solarized Markdown highlighting working.

Edit: I lie, it was Twilight [0]

I just wanted to get that working with Markdown - but there are just so many limitations with the syntax highlighting system and I was always making tradoffs.

I switched to Sublime (cross platform, prettier, more performant, fuzzy finding, better highlighting, better shortcuts, better plugins - but closed source) and then to Vim (cross platform + ssh, open source, PITA to learn but gains from the more programmable way of editing, the potential to match or better most aspects of ST)
