Notepad++ supports programming languages like Java, XML.
Notepad++ is free of cost and anyone can use it.
Code syntax is highlighted with unique colours, which speeds up work and readability.

I use it when needed to take quick notes or come up with a rough logic to any problem.
Even though Sublime Text is a lot sleekier tha Notepad++, the search capabilities of Notepad++ makes it a winner.
I prefer to open single file in Notepad++ rather than loading the entire project in Code editor.

Take quick notes during meetings. Students can make use of Notepad++ since it is free of cost. Best option when coding using Java, SQL. Syntax highlighting. Tab view for opening multiple files simultaneously. Autosave feature in Notepad++ removes the depency to manually save files. I do not use Notepad++ when working with files having size greater than 100MB.
