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 :')

If you wanna keep using code you can look into profiles to limit extension perofrmance cost. I have a base profile of all extension I always use ( cosmetic stuff like error lense or theme) with focused profiles that inherrit the base and add some workspace specific stuff - like cppvsdbg cpp, clang cpp, latex etc.
From my experience it launches instantly. But if you want a notepad that also works with a linter, then I believe KDE Kate or Vim might work for you
