Notepad GNU is Windows Notepad on steroids

Filed under: Text, Windows, Open Source

When you ask about a free alternative to Windows Notepad, chances are good that Notepad ++ will be recommended to you. Another alternative which doesn't get mentioned as often is Notepad GNU.

It occupies the space in between Notepad and Notepad ++. Notepad GNU does offer loads of features, though not quite as many as Notepad ++. Which is fine, because plenty of people just want Notepad with a few tweaks like line numbers, bookmarks, and syntax highlighting. Notepad GNU does all that and more!

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the foreign language install menus - not a surprise, since the developer's site is in Russian. Click through, and you'll wind up with an English language interface when you launch the app.
