I use VSCode + Markdown for an actual notepad. The only thing I ever want from Notepad is to open a file as plain text, instantly, and let me read and search through the text, and maybe make a modification and save it. If I'm gonna be looking at the contents for more than 5 seconds it's already a good idea to be using a proper text editor.
