Thoughts on Notepad++? (programming.dev)

Notepad++ has become a staple in my coding workflow (as a college student studying IT) for a couple of years before I started trying out VS Code, or Visual Studio Code. Nowadays, while I use VS Code for coding, I mostly just use NPP to edit my text files.

So, for both writing and editing text files as well as coding, what are your thoughts on Notepad++ and how well does it deliver as both a text editor and for writing code?

Notepad++ is my ride-and-die. I can't think of a single program over the years that's been as helpful and reliable. The more other IDEs bloat, the more I just go back to Npp.

When I die, I want to be buried with a flash stick carrying the portable version of Npp.
