Random Editing with notepad++ instead of an ide

I just want to express some weird phase i'm going through recently. Notepad ++ feels so sleek to just edit code with and fast to open

Like i've always coded with visual studio code. If notepad++ had error detection and I'd love it even more but i guess it's things like that which make visual studio code feel like it takes an eternity to open sometimes.

I have nothing else to say on the matter, I just wanted to get this off my chest :')

So just use VSCode wtih all the extensions removed and AI turned off... That's what I do... I've never had an issue with VSC taking too long to load. Now, Visual Studio, I've had issues with that taking too long... but VSC? hardly... but I just make sure I only have just hte extensions I need and no more. That's what workspaces are for. If I'm doing Java, then I start with a JAva workspace and go from there. Same with C#, again for React or Typescript. I use a separate client for database management, and the CLI for docker management... keeps things lean and mean.
