There are a number of things I would definitely like to see added/improved: http://code.google.com/p/pnotepad/issues/list?can=1&q=reporter%3Ansetbtgnws But those are generally fairly minor things, and a number of them I think are really more scintilla than PN2 (PN2 uses the scintilla text-edit control). So yea, overall I've been very happy with it, much more than any other editor I've tried. Doesn't have the sluggishness and bloat of VS.NET and Eclipse (doesn't have all the bells and whistles of Eclipse, but I can live without bells and whistles, especially if I'm not using Java). Doesn't have the strange "10% CPU usage while idle" or long start-up time or non-MRU-based ctrl-tab system that C::B has, or C::B's insistence on always trying to open HTML in a WYSIWYG instead of text-mode. Doesn't do the weird "EOL isn't treated as EOL" behavior some other editors do. Doesn't require tons of configuration. Highlights D out-of-the-box (and *not* by pretending it's C/C++). And it does all the basics I need, like basic project support, external command-line tools, customizable cmd-line-tool output parsing for jump-to-file/line/position, keyboard commands for comment/indent/unindent, find in files, show/hide whitespace and/or EOL markers, tabs <-> spaces, doesn't try to use any weird skins, doesn't waste UI space, doesn't have "invisible-text-syndrome", etc.
