That's why I've replaced all my links to notepad.exe with notepad2.exe
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notepad2).

Basic/generic code highlighting, line numbering, regex search & replace.
While Ruby isn't one of the languages it was designed for, just being
able to see where the closing ), } or ] is is certainly helpful in long
or complicated lines.

Other than that... Small and light.
