I used Notepad++ on Windows and it certainly had more features than Notepad, which has zero features, but after using Gedit/Pluma and Geany I realized it's another case of Windows being garbage for powerful default or simple to install tools.
Ie. after spending hours Googling for software to do a job, then hours more reading reviews to convince yourself that you're not installing a botnet, you think "WOW" on Windows, for stuff that is no better than tools that are there by default on Linux or can be installed in 20 seconds without any worry of malware.
If anything there are almost too many text editors and programming IDEs for Linux, both GUI and commandline, like Emacs, Vi/Vim, Nano, Lime Text, Atom, Brackets, VS Code (from Microsoft!), as mentioned above, and many more.
Notepad++ itself is replicated as Notepadqq, though I haven't used it and would generally recommend using more standard/native Linux/Unix tools than stuff made to resemble Windows apps.

In general, writing custom batch scripts to use with a handful of cli tools (Curl, PhantomJS, FFMpeg etc) will get a lot things done.

This is very true, though you spelled "bash" wrong.
