I write all my code on paper and use OCR to convert it. It almost works sometimes.

I used Notepad++ for virtually all coding I did (Python, JS, various Markup Languages, Action Script back in the day, etc) for a couple decades. The only reason I use VSCode now is because I inherited a nightmare of a legacy spaghetti bowl and needed the function tracing to attempt to figure out anything. I still prefer N++ for most small projects.
what? gedit is awesome. it has good code highlighting and thats what we need right?
Sublime! There are DOZENS of us! Dozens!
I'm doing my part
I like SublimeText for everything unless a quick edit at the CLI with Vim.
As long as you don't use Microsoft Word we can be friends
Notepad.exe has been my daily driver for anything that doesn't need a compiler for decades.
You mean the one that didn't even do proper line endings until recently?
Yep. There are simple command line utilities that will convert the line breaks if necessary.
And would save in non-UTF8 format by default. No idea, if they changed that by now.
Learned C++ by using gedit on the Sun machines in my college's computer lab in 2007. They were decommissioned shortly after I graduated.
At one of my jobs around 2010 there was a dev in the office who wrote all his code in Notepad. When I joined the staff they were still using Classic ASP. My job was to help them (finally) migrate to ASP.Net. He intended to develop .Net apps in Notepad rather than learn how to use VS. I got laid off due to cutbacks and never found out what kind of luck he had wit dat.

This is such a waste of time to the point where it infuriates me. I know the standard answer is "why not?", but it's just cringe to, like you are trying too hard to purposely be stupid, whereas with standard text editor you can say already they cba'ed to install anything so it was a case of initial setup vs. long term productivity.
