VS Code can do that?

I've seen some people make the argument that they want to use their editor for quick edits to single files, which is a fine use-case. However, VS Code is really not designed to be optimized for that case. It's really about editing code (hence the name) as opposed to quick edits to configs, etc.

It's usually best if one knows a few different tools designed for different scenarios. Right tool for the job.

At the same time though, it is purposely not positioned to replace a full-blown IDE. So what is the use case that it's optimized for? Why does it offer to add an "open with code" context menu item to every file if it's not expected that you'll be using it for quick edits on individual files?

I leave vscode open basically 100% of the time and use notepad++ for quick edits. Vscode having slow startup doesn't affect my support of it at all
