Notepad++ is light-weight editor with good features, simple, stable, pluginable.
I would like to divide text files into three categories:
Simple, Single and Small files
Complicated, Large and Multiple (bunch) files
Project, Complex and related files
I use Windows Notepad for 1st category, because they don't need very effort.
I use Notepad++ for 2nd category, because they need syntax-highlighting, tabs, plugin to handle, auto-complete, line-joining, line-spliting, encoding, searching, commenting, converting case, etc.
I use VSCode for 3nd category, because they need compilation, sophisticated auto-complete, professional tabs management and grouping, advanced plugins, programming-related plugins and tools, professioal shortcuts, etc.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Out of curiosity what benefit do to get from notepad++ in the use cases where you're not using vs code?
