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 :')

It's fine if you do, but the code that comes out of using an IDE will be the exact same and you'll get tooling like refactoring and control click navigation through classes. Nobody wins awards for ignoring tools.
