Unlike VSCode and most modern IDEs, Notepad++ has no concept of a workspace. I can use it to open any file anywhere on my filesystem or on a remote server, and Notepad++ won't balk about those files belonging to different projects or try to index every file on the disk. I usually have a whole bunch of small things going on at the same time, and having them all open in a single Notepad++ window is much easier than juggling a half dozen VSCode windows. (I do use VSCode heavily for a couple of major, ongoing projects with clearly defined workspaces.)
