| Notepad++ is always the right solution

I like it for dealing with extremely large files. It's
clean, dependable and well built. But aside from opening
2 MB files quickly, it's little more than an overproduced
version of Notepad, using 3 times the RAM. The color
coding isn't specific enough to be worth having. None
of it is actually specific to any coding language. So
it's mostly just a really good version of a text editor.
But since text is "just text", Notepad++ is rarely
any more useful than Notepad.

Personally I use Notepad far more than anything else.
I often have a few instances open with text snippets.
I jot down URLs or phone numbers. I save webpages as
text by copying/pasting into Notepad.

Notepad++ doesn't even provide an SDI mode. (One
window for each file.) It has 3 options for multi-instance
window and they all give me a single window with tabs.
I can hide the tab bar, but that also doesn't give me
SDI windows!
