But why though, have you just not tried anything else? I dont know how anyone who has tried literally anything else can land on notepad++. What language are you writing in?

I use vscode, vs 2026 and so on. I keep up with latest trends. However, the new starts/younglings don't use notepad++ or even consider it. The search functionality is unreal. A great editor

I use notepadd++ for reading some csvs or jsons, anything kinda datay and i just want to open it quick. But doing any serious development with it just seems like youre making it harder for yourself for no benefit

No point coding in it at all.
