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
