"gnotepad+"

By Juergen Haas, About.com

Definition: gnotepad+: GNOME-based Notepad editor This is an easy-to-use, yet fairly feature-rich, simple text editor for Unix based systems running X11 and using GNOME (the GNU Network Object Model Environment). Gnotepad+ was designed to have as little bloat as possible, while still providing many of the common features found in a modern GUI-based text editor. It is still fairly light-weight, especially for the features it offers, and aims to remain that way. The "+" in gnotepad+ is there to differentiate it from other GNOME-based text editors which may call themselves "gnotepad". Additionally, gnotepad+ is not intended to be fancy, so it leverages its text editing capabilities on the GTK Text Widget. Hence, if you are looking for a programmer's editor, look for another text editor or help improve the GTK Text Widget.
