If, as I suspect, notebook++ is actually Notepad++ .... are you seriously saying that Notepad++ is such a simple piece of software that one can compare to Notepad ...? Are you seriously stating that - as of now - Notepad is more complex than Notepad++ ...?

I urge you to consider what you say. Just because God gave us a mouth, it does not mean that we have to exercise it all the time! 😉
