I've been using notepad++ 3.9 for a while, it's great for me, but I just decided I won't install it as part of my default windows install for customers anymore because setting it right for customers is too much of a chore
here are the (small) problems I have with it
Remember the current session for next launch (should be off)
File association for .ini .log .txt (should be associated by default or notepad++ will not be used, setting them by hand takes too long)
at least there should be a associate everything but .cmd/.bat/.vbs/.html button
fully replace notepad.exe (many programs directly call notepad.. what I'm doing is I replace the notepad.exe with metapad.exe, I'd rather replace it with notepad++'s exe)
no hide Tab bar when inactive
no single document mode (one window per text file)
that's about it, if it weren't for those thing notepad++ would be a drop in replacement for MS' notepad
