Reviewing 4.5.5.2370 Beta (Sep 28, 2009)
There is only one problem I have with the current 4.5.5 release. For some reason, in my dual-monitor setup, it will not load onto the secondary monitor. Never had the problem with 4.5.4 and I am hoping it's just a temporary proble. Otherwise, it is by far the best "notepad" replacement out there.
Reviewing 4.5.5.2357 Beta (Aug 17, 2009)
Absolutely fantastic text editor. The only dealbreaker to using this (if you care) is the fact that you are forced to use fixed-width fonts as its geared towards coding. Frankly, even when I'm writing PHP I prefer using Verdana 9, but whatever. Still gets 5 stars for its capabilities and for being free.
Reviewing 4.5.4.2356 (Jul 15, 2009)
This release finally weaned me off of CONText editor (I jumped off the bloated UltraEdit bandwagon years ago). The final addresses all my issues including 64bit integration and I'm very satisfied.
FIVE stars for excellence.
