notepad++ lmao, throw that poo poo out the window.

learn vim, then throw vim out the window and install emacs with evil. if you're a js developer install neovim and enjoy the constant churn and breakage you're so used to.

if you love satan and need to be productive, just use vscode.

neovim works fine and requires no plugin janitoring. i only use it for quick edits in a shell tho, vscode owns for anything more studly
