Ugh, I do this with Notepad++ too, and I know it's terrible. But it's just so.... automatic. I tell myself that nothing in there is truly critical, but I've also had a few instances of being pretty pleased to be able to "find in all open documents" and recover a bit history of what I was doing, or URLs for some research, or whatever.
I'm utterly unrestrained with it because I don't even use NP++ as a text editor for anything else— my actual projects are in VSCode or just terminal vim instances.
