Perfection? It is super slow to start compared to vscode and it has a super annoying transparent search box that always seems to get in your way.

I never realized notepad++ was that slow until I, last week, had to manual updates config files (open file > find in file > scroll to line) on a bunch of servers that had both vscode and np++ installed. I think I would be able to perform the change in vscode in less time that it takes np++ to open the document.
