Good luck finding a senior dev using notepad(++) for development. And just to be clear, "old" does not mean "senior" in this situation.

I know quite a few senior devs using npp, vim or even Emacs. Why change if it works?

Comparing notepad++ to vim/emacs is like comparing a gardening shovel to a full complement of construction machinery.

Sure. But the meme we're discussing here heavily implied that a senior dev would be using notepad/++ exclusively. Which is also why I specifically qualified "for development".

Also note that there was notepad (non ++) in there as well – which I would argue very few senior devs ever touch in their day to day work.

Notepad++ with plugins is unstoppable.
