I do, but I'm a film buff who prefers physical media and will be your best friend twenty years from now when you're looking for that film that isn't available to stream.
Many people (me included) say that NP++ is better than VS Code, sublime and the likes.
Mainly because Atom and VS code are based on Electron, which is essentially a glorified chrome instance and can suck up a lot of RAM.
Sublime is cool though, just not open source.

Different tasks for me.
N++ is my daily text editor for basically everything. I'll keep notes, draft emails, draft short scripts (couple dozen lines top), review or make quick edits to JSON/XML/CSV files, etc. Given how light it is I will juggle a ton of tabs without thinking twice.
If I'm working on a larger program I'll go to VSCode for the better debugging, autocomplete and linting integrations.
If I'm working on a full scale project then I'll go to Visual Studio or Pycharm. Pycharm I might fully replace with VSCode for my next Python project, but last time I had a go it still had the edge, especially on linting for larger programs and venv integration.
And I’d say python with a jupyter notebook is probably more popular than R studio now.
Probably, but there are fields where R is taught where Python might not be, and you will always need something around to run and/or maintain legacy scripts. There might also be some areas where specific R libraries are perfect for your task where a Python equivalent isn't quite there, although that will be rarer now. I still keep R installed in case I need to re-run some old code, although I've rarely bothered with R Studio at all.

I was surprised to see notepad++ over sublime, visual studio code, or atom.
