No doubt about it. Most editors have the same capabilities or better. It’s just when you use something for 40+ hours a week you know it inside and out.
I’ve recently switched to writing my notes in markdown in a code editor, since I already have one open most of the time. vsCode for work (I do a lot of PowerShell), vsCodium at home, although I’m sure there’s better options.
My one gripe with Notepad++ is that I haven’t found any easy way to do dark mode with it. You can make the window “chrome” dark mode, and you can make general text background black and text white, but then that screws up the language specific and file diff themes/coloring.
There’s probably a collection of importable settings for that somewhere online though.
