I have been searching lately for a better code editing application. Some use sublime, some use notepad++ for website development. I came across different websites saying Notepad++ is better, some say sublime text is better.
Here is one that is clear and objective comparison of both: http://text-editors.findthebest.com/compare/9-45/Notepad-vs-Sublime-Text
What it comes down to, is for what specific task will you be using the editor towards? Some argue Notepad++ can compile on the editor itself. Others argue, Sublime text can be used on different OS, such as Mac, Linux, Windows.
Both are almost identical, and can be customize to your specific layout. But as far as latest language updates for the web, I noticed that sublime text supports the new syntax in CSS3. I have been using Notepad++ occasionally, and when using intelli-sense, Sublime text offer much updated language file.
There is nothing wrong with Notepad++, if it can serve your specific project needs, then stick with it. It is a stable build and free. Sublime text on the other hand is not free and expensive for an editor. It cost $70, and free update on current version only. If there is a new version, the license you purchased is only good up to the point of latest update of version bought.
Note: out of the box, Sublime text already has intelli-sense working. While Notepad++ you will need to allow autocomplete thru this steps: Settings>Preference>Auto-Completion tick on the checkbox to enable auto-complete on each input.
