Yes…sorry all those notepad followers out there. I have been converted. From now on, instead of having notepad sit at the top of my Most Used list, it shall be notepad2.
Why?

It is very small, and has a few nifty little perks that just makes things SO much easier.
Its a self contained coder, that highlights syntax for most of the large coding languages, along with ini, reg, inf, bat, and diff.
You can do search and replace, rectangular selection using alt+mouse (That one is really useful)
Brace matching: YAY!
Auto indenting, zoom, and an overall very adjustable tool. Its as light as the old notepad, and whats really nice…is being able to ctrl+n, and get a new window. :)
