Linux sysadmin here - although I use vi for almost everything on the terminal, I still consider Notepad++ a "killer app" for Windows. It perplexes me that in all this time I have not been able to find anything comparable for Linux.

Games and Notepad++ are the only real reasons I have had for using Windows on my desktop instead of Linux.

The last time I used either (5 or 6 years ago), Kate seemed perfectly comparable to Notepad++.

It's "vi imitation" mode is shit though.
