Most devs I've met use it, it's an excellent tool for getting rid of formatting or just having an instant window open where you can temporarily store some plaintext.

Let me blow your mind: you can use CTRL+SHIFT+V to paste text without formatting.

My mind isn't blown, this doesn't seem to work properly across all applications.

I just tested it now pasting some text from a website into Slack and it retained hyperlinks (I don't mean plaintext https:// ones, but <a href='..> ones) and all that junk. When you cleanse it through notepad you have a guarantee that none of that is left.

I thought the Ctrl+Shit+V paste trick worked in Outlook, but I'll be damned if I could make it work today...
