So it is better because it can do more, but I assume not too too much? Because then we can also use word?

They have different use cases. Notepad++ is for manipulating text, strings, and code. It's got very powerful tools for it.

Word is for making things look pretty. You can change typefaces, fonts, size. You can add pictures and diagrams and arrange them on the page.
