I prefer vim. You can learn it once and stick with it. Believe me, it's way more powerful than notepad++ (because I've worked with both editors).

You can highlight with yellow any text in vim, ok. But can you highlight different texts with different colors at the same time in vim? And if the text maches even partly both colors, the colors are mixed. I dont think vim can do that. And I tell you, this is very useful when you browse some source code.

When the source for some Windows Software is available, it should be possible to compile it with winelib:
http://www.winehq.org/winelib
They list some examples, but i doubt that its easy to do.

Alternatives:
- As said before, geany or gedit
- i like medit, but it has no integrated ftp client like notepad++, and lacks some other features. (but you can use curlftps instead to mount ftp like a real file system)
- Kate is also really good and has a lot of features.
- nedit
- There is 'cream' in the aur, which says about itself: 'Modern easy-to-use configuration of the Vim text editor'. It behaves more like a 'normal' editor then. (see here: http://cream.sourceforge.net/features.html)

Anyone know about something alike 'cream' for emacs?

(Oh why do some vim users allways say 'vim' when any kind of editor related question is asked, even if its really not an answer? They are so aggressive.)

I know it can be annoying for people to keep telling you to use something else than what you're used to, but there's a reason here: GNU/Linux (really, *nix) has a history of having insanely powerful and amazing editors.
emacs and Vim, regardless of your preference, are both stupid-awesome.

I spent about two days (not continuous!) learning basic Vim commands like end-of-line, beginning-of-line, moving around, copy/paste, working with line numbers, mass deletion, etc. and now I absolutely adore it.
The best part being that once I devote some more time to learning, it will become even more useful.

You don't need to be a Vim expert and spend hours continuously learning it for it to be a keen blade.

You know, if you absolutely must have npp, you could always give Notepadqq a try. It's pretty close to being just like npp, the only difference being some basic appearance
differences. Warning: Although it's basic functions and some of the the more advanced functions. Some of it's drop down menus don't work. :S

Thanks, you guys, for some other things to try, as I am having trouble trying to cope with any editor other than npp, also.
Giving Geany a try now.

Nobody cares about Notepad++ compilation any more...

Try notepadqq-svn. It is in AUR. Description says it is a clone of notepad++.
