Notepad++ is perfectly fine to code in. With the wealth of plugins it has, it’s pretty similar to vscode in how you can trick it out with all sorts of things it can’t do by default.
I’m a tolerant person, but come on, man. Between VSCode, JetBrains, (n)vim and emacs, and I can’t think of a legitimate reason to use np++ for development over any of them.
Macros man, being able to record a macro and use it quickly and easily is worth it’s weight in gold when you’re doing something super repetitive that there are no automatic refactors for.
And i hate the “modern sleek design” culture of making all the options hidden and difficult to reach. Notepad s interface is so fucking clean and usefull.
I still use intellij because of a lot of other things but quite often I find myself using notepad for specific tasks and it’s such a treat

You havent lived until you wrote python over ssh in nano.

We wouldn’t have to do that if vscode remote ssh was good
But I mean this is (hopefully) an exception and not the norm.
Luckily all systems I had to do this on had vi installed.
It’s super fast in comparison to full IDEs and is easier to use than most editors. I switch between vscode and notepad++ depending on what im doing.

The tiny, tiny footprint and speed to load.
I would think I’d probably use an IDE if I was coding all the time.
Heck, I’m only using it because JFE got too old.
I do have VSCode set up even with the same scheme as NP++… but let’s face it, the most complex things I’m using are PowerShell and Node JS.
I’ll use it for one-off short scripts. No point in doing the whole shebang for something that doesn’t need it.
