Apple Accessories, now at StaplesCNET Editors' review
Once you explore the power of NoteTab Light, you may find this text editor beautiful despite its hectic interface. At its core, NoteTab Light is to Windows' Notepad as an iPhone is to a rotary phone. NoteTab Light incorporates top-level tabs similar to most Web browsers, so that you can manage several different projects at once, and it can automatically replace Notepad so that Notepad's icons open NoteTab instead--although not in Windows Vista.
However, it's more than a mere replacement. The left column displays a list of commands, called Clips, that do anything from inserting bits of text to generating code. Each library, the roster of which appears as tabs at the bottom of the screen, contains its own set of clips. The FTP library, for example, lets you create server profiles, connect, upload and download files, and issue various commands. The HTML library auto-completes HTML tags. The publisher's site offers many user-created libraries, or you can make your own. You can create your own clips by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F2.
Several of the clips, including the Tidy HTML clip and the TopStyle library, require secondary freeware apps to support them, but NoteTab will direct you to their Web pages if it finds them missing. NoteTab Light isn't a tool for casual users, but power users and programmers should find plenty to love.

"It has a lot of extra functions that are very useful"
Version: NoteTab Light 7.1
Pros
I like it very much. I wonder why I had not use it before as I should. I am going to start using it more. It has a good set of useful functions, many not regularly available in text editors. It is a very good program to have. I use EditPad Lite, but at some point I might start using NoteTab Light as my default plain text editor. I will continue to use MS Word as my main word processor and CesarUSA Text Editor BS2 as my secondary word processor/editor until CesarUSA.com releases new versions of text editors such as the CesarUSA WordProcessor, which would work with Doc and Docx files and have autocompletion in multiple languages.
Cons
It has some features that are for programmers, not really for the general public. It might take a little bit of time to learn some of the features, but many of them are a or two click away. It has an Untilities menu, but the menu items do not have tooltips that tell you what the features do.
