I can't resist any longer.  I'm throwing emacs into the fray.  I never
really could get into vi too much.  Emacs does everything that NotePad is
claimed to do plus some.  Heck, emacs does *everything* (if you write a
lisp extension for it).  It is even fairly intuitive when run in X
(console version a little less so).  So there!

p.s. this is not a vi/emacs battle post - just another option.  There are
so many useful tools out there that it is easy to miss some that are truly
useful.
