Comments on Notepad++ (pre-2008)
“Best simple text editor on Windows, hands down. Plus its free!” Tim Kindberg, 2007
” I use the portable version that I keep on a jump drive that I can use for simple text editing. Like Notetab it has tabs capability to have more than one file open at a time” Dennis Coxe, 2007
