I happen to know an amazing developer who mostly uses notepad. Sometimes he will start Visual Studio for other reasons, and then might edit files that way, but typically he edits with notepad. Notepad is fast and simple.

It has a horrible undo behaviour. I need a reasonable undo to work effectively. And by reasonable I mean pretty much any other editor in the world except notepad. Also paste is suboptimal but that’s forgivable. And finally open a file without /r characters for new lines and have fun!

When learning a new language, I tend to use a basic text editor and run the compiler directly on the command line until I can at least get things working in it. Then I might look at IDEs.
