Notepad isn't a good text editor for *anything*. While it's true that
as of Windows XP they made a giant leap forward is usability by finally
adding a keyboard shortcut for File->Save, Notepad still can't perform
such complicated tasks as, say, handling files with Unix line endings.
Don't even *think* of hoping for such advanced far-future Star Trek era
Artificial Intelligence features such as syntax coloring or regex-based
search.
