You're right of course.
Like the other commenter said for this specific problem you'd use a spreadsheet.
It's just an example though and there are others, like maybe removing url encoding from a string or something.
Again this can be done in some other tool without much fuss, but the versatility offered by notepad will be useful for a lot of people.
