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.
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.
