You're right. Notepad++ is a more of a general purpose text tool.

I got into the habit of using it to open HUNDREDS of files at the same time and perform ad-hoc interactive searching and data extraction to prep for further processing in R.

I've not seen any editor that can work effectively with so many files totaling a huge size. Would like to try Emacs for this stuff someday but Notepad++ works great and is easy to use.
