Better in which way? In your daily usage scenario? Memory usage? I'm sure there will be cases where Vim or notepad++ works better for me. At present, vscode works for 90%+ of the things I need to do. For my usage scenario, notepad++ is not better than vscode. Use whatever application works for you, but don't say something is better or worse, without looking at it subjectively.

why are you talking about vscode ?

Last time I used visual studio it was great, levels of magnitude better than notepad++, but not quite as good as intellij.
