Caderno is an very good alternative to windows default text editor i.e Notepad.The notepad does not provide much features to devlopers when compared to gedit in Linux.Caderno is a freeware text editor with lots cool features like sarch/find/replace, go-to specific line, crash recovery, session management, Unicode support.Caderno displays line number and does syntax high-lighting for programming languages like INI, XML, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and Java.Like web browser it has got a minimalist look and tabbed user interface. 😉
