People that still want to try and fight it either:

- Use notepad for development (don't laugh, I've actually encountered a dev who's choice IDE was notepad).

- Never worked with more than 1 person on a project.

- Never worked on anything but tiny projects.

- Never re-opened a project after having worked on a different project for several weeks.

You should legitimately try a project in notepad. Not Notepad++, specifically Notepad. Probably a very short project, but you should give it a shot. It'll give you a bit of a perspective. And some real appreciation for Notepad++.

I've been forced to use ed (serial connection to an embedded device that didn't support TERM), what does notepad give?
