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.
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.
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
