A Notepad With Plugins

Despite all the advances in word processing tools, sometimes, a simple Notepad will do - especially if you use it for coding. However, if Notepad turns out to not be enough tool, you can always upgrade to Notepad++. I just learned something even cooler about this software from gHacks: Notepad++ has plugins! Martin recommends these: XML Tools, Hex Editor, Compare Plugin, FTP Synchronize, Multi Clipboard, and the Windows Manager, but there are 26 more to choose from on the plugin page.
