Just been looking at the screenshots for Notepad++ and there's really nothing impressive seen from the screenshots, so I take it, it must be the features it has?
I would say Quanta Plus and Bluefish would probably be editors that come close to Notepad++, so there maybe no need to actually port Notepad++ over to Linux.
I agree that KATE is not really a good code editor, but it is a simple text editor that has some syntax features that would make it acceptable, same would go for the Gnome Editor (gedit).
Cheers,

I use JEdit mostly, just because I can use it on Mac, Windows, and Linux. It is written in Java, has some platform specific extensions to fit into the native environment a little better, is a good editor out of the box, and has a great extension system with many plugins available. I even use it for general word processing (but then, I am an XML/LaTeX junkie).
There really is no shortage of editors for Linux in general and there even quite a few which run on a good handful of platforms so you do not need more than one program when you switch machines.

If you have been sreaching for 2 days and can't find it, I would assume it doesn't exist in a linux compatible version. Even though you said not to, I'd suggest just using wine Obviouly you'd really like to use this software if you've looked for 2 days, so instead of searching for another day just spend a few minutes figuring out wine and voila. The software looks fairly striaghtforward on their site so I assume it would be emulated without any problems.

What's so great about notepad++ that it replaces all the other editors available for Linux?
Remember I have not used notepad++ but am just looking into it, especially the porting side of things, that's something I enjoy doing.
Also noticed from it's website that it used part of Scintilla, how does ScinTE differ to Notepad++ since that would be interesting to know. Could turn out that writing a new editor using Scintilla might be more effective than porting Notepad++?

I was thinking, if you have Kate (Advanced Editor for KDE) then why do you want notepad++

You know, I am going to scream. WHY ON EARTH USE KATE FOR coding...
How about VIm - you can install it with gui for gnome or kde... Glimmer (which is the proggie I started my first website with).. Or if you prefer a more all around - code completion etc - try Bluefish.
If you dont like downloading extra stuff... Open a terminal, type vi <filename.extension> and there you go
(without the < >) Be advised in Vi, you need to hit the Ins key to type, and Esc to leave the typing mode. To exit the file and save.. hit Esc then type ":wq!" : is to execute a command, w for write, q for quit and ! to force it so it's not fussing.

Moonwitch, I use Kate for my programming/editing, it's just as great as other editors IMO.

People have to get familiar with vi, the default text editor with any Unix or Linux computer in the world.

I use notepad++. I think's it's great. If there was a linux version I would prob install it and run it on linux as well. Perhaps there will be a version one day, but for now maybe I'll check into some of these other text editors that you speak of.
As far as notepad++ goes, I'm just use to it. I like it's simplicity, and flexibility. Syntax highlighting is good. Overrall I could switch but I fear change.

I just took a look at Bluefish and I really liked the look of it. It seems to have most of the features Notepad++ has, and more. I'm currently migrating over to Linux myself, but it's not a full migration since there are some needed apps that unfortunately run only on Windows. Yeah, I know I can dual boot and run an emulator like Wine, etc., but I'd much prefer having a fully Linux system. =^^=
Thanks to all who recommended Bluefish. That's one app off my checklist. =^^=

Seriously I would have never thought I would see thread like this: trying to find a Linux version of a Windows editor. Oh dear...
I think the reason why projects such as Notepad++ and other exitst is because Windows completely lacks a good built-in text editor which, if you think about it, is quite a weird thing... A text editor is an utility that you expect to find on any human usable computer.
Seriously people learn to use Vi(m). At least the basics. You might find yourself in sitation where its the only alternative.

true, but easier said than done, most people are too use to GUI editor. I do too and I don't think people know any.

There are tons of great text/code editors for linux that are way better than any windows editor.

why notepad++ more than bluefish / Quanta ?
- vertical selection inexistant under Bluefish / Quanta do it ok
- xml reindentation not found under Bluefish (I mean the 'pretty print' function [via plugin under notepad++]) - I'm perhaps wrong on it about Quanta, there is the 'format XML code' feature, but I didn't understood it...
- tidy function not found under Bluefish [via plugin under notepad++] - Ok under Quanta
- [syntax coloration isn't really good in Bluefish (it doesn't recognize <? as <?php for my instant try) but I've seen this part under dev] - quanta Ok on it
- search through all opened files - even quanta (that appears to be a stronger tool than Bluefish) don't do it
- search through a directory with a file pattern - even quanta don't do it
- different files formats win/unix/mac ; also not found into Bluefish - quanta Ok
- file modification detection with alerts - quanta Ok (and better than jedit that don't give any choice on action !!!
- muti-view (paned views) - even quanta don't do it

I'm far away of the one who wants to kill vi, but under windows at least you can drag your text using the default editor...
I'm personally switching between jedit(too slow), gedit(too simple but always ready) and Bluefish / Quanta since few minutes.
I hope finding an improved, quick, simply rendered and easy to use text editor as notepad++ for linux.
And I'm sorry if I said wrong things about Bluefish and Quanta there, correct me then !
