CNET 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.

"Many Features in One Application"
Version: NoteTab Light 7.01
Pros
The many features and the basic ability to write notes and letters. so basic features are set apart from esoteric ones but both types are available. This download is the free version although there is a paid version with more features and customer support.
Cons
1. No spell checker in the free version and 2. So many features that I wish I knew how to use them all.

"Great for most users"
Version: NoteTab Light 7.01
Pros
Love the outline feature and being able to neatly keep track of different documents using tabs.
Cons
It would be nice if there was support for other web languages such as PHP, which NotePad++ has. I didn't see it mentioned for the paid version either.
Summary
Most users will find the many features useful but it would be nice if it had support for more programming languages.
