Reviewing 4.0.2.3 (Oct 12, 2009)
@dhry: Unfortunately Kai Liu hasn't updated his builds for quite some time now.
Nevertheless, I agree Notepad2 is the best notepad replacement. Small and does what it has to very nicely.
If only Florian Balmer would use the installer Kai Liu has made. That would made things a lot easier for a lot of people.
Reviewing 4.0.2.3 (Oct 6, 2009)
Absolutely brilliant. Loads in a flash, lots of great options, rock solid and has never crashed for me. And not as many bugs as Notepad++. God I hope the author doesn't turn it into bloatware. I hereby designate this an honorary Fileforum Pick.
