I feel like you misunderstood me on purpose… Most people use Notepad++ in conjunction with IDE not as replacement for it.
Vim doesn’t work as simple text editor without spending enourmous amount of time learning all the commands. Even long time users have cheat sheets nearby…
Notepad++ works for many people despite the bloat. Anyone can start immediately, no guidance needed, can’t say the same for vim.
Well vim instead shipped vulnerability that allows arbitrary code execution (CVE-2025-66476)… So I guess both are not perfect.

Figured “enlightened vim user” was a bit more of a giveaway than it apparently is
