Pros
It's 99% better than Notepad.
Cons
You can't scroll with the wheel-mouse. But I don't use the wheel-mouse anyways.
Summary
You should use it.
Better than Windows Notepad in some ways, not in others

Pros
Handles Unix-formatted text files, which Windows Notepad does not
Cons
Cannot scroll with a wheel-mouse. Find-text command is always case-sensitive, whether the box is checked or not. Didn't use the program for long, so don't know what else is wrong with it.

Problem in opening text files

Pros
Extended version of notepad with great enhancements.
Cons
I don't if others are experiencing the same but I have problem opening text files. When I double click a certain text files on my hard drive it will open notepad 2 but empty content, as if you just open the application not even the filename of the textfile is included. Weird because I opened a text file on a mounted drive like a file from an ISO file and it opened the file right.
