    Author's still ignoring the aforementioned bugs. Pass. Get Notepad2 instead. http://code.kliu.org/misc/notepad2/

    I've had this installed for a while, but only really scratched the surface, using it as a notepad replacement for ages. Then i was looking for a simple editor for php/web page without having to run dreamweaver all the time.

    so I turned to notepad++ and I am sooo very glad I did. The more I delve into it, the more I realise it truly is superb. There is so much it can do, and it seems to do it all very well.

    I can easily record macros and save them with ease.
    I've added some php plugins for code completion (and they work very well)
    I've started to use the ftp client, and again it's very good
    and the projects option (plugin iirc)
    add on teh file manager plugin and it's just great.

    sure, a lot of that is plugin based, but I quite like that, it has meant the app stayed small when I was justing using it for a notepad replacement and now I'm using it more in-depth I bolt on very useful features.

    I really like this. only wish I'd realised how good it was a long time ago.

    ..and it runs really well in linux with Wine. I know there are plenty of text editors around in linux, but if you need to work in linux and windows you can at least use the same editor (if you want)

    I agree that the new icon is crap. However the app itself is as good as ever.
    Still a 5 star rating for useability.
