Simplicity. I use VSCode when working on a project, but if I just need to edit a single file I use NPPP.

  What’s wrong with doing that in sublime? If you don’t install a bunch of kids it’s very minimal.

    Sublime pissed a lot of people off when they started nagging v3 user to upgrade to v4, then when you do, they nag you to pay again. I also got tired of how the package manager worked. Whenever I was setting up a new install, I could never remember what combination of packages I needed to install to get everything to work how it used to.

      Just copy the configuration files and extensions out of the directory where they're installed. Or use sync functionality.

        N++ is just simpler. There are ways to avoid sublime’s annoyances. But N++ doesn’t annoy. Although if you have sublime installed and running the way you like it, you probably don’t need N++.

This is one of the things VS Code does quite well. Stick a recommended extentions file in your repo root and anyone who pulls it gets automatically offered the chance to install them. (View -> Command Palette -> search for "Recommended Extensions")
