Is it still a one-man development? If not, porting to other platforms will increase users. Notepad++ is just too great! I hope that I can use that on Linux and Mac too!

If you develop it step-by-step? Like completely rewriting a new program, but for Linux? Notepad++ is just too great and it is such a pity other platforms can't use it. I believe there will be some substitute for w32 api.

I suppose that if someone could port NPP to use .net, it could technically/theoretically be ported to Mono. But I'd make no guarantees on either port being easy, painless, or even feasible.

Well, give it a try and put some effort into it!
NPP is massively based on MFC, so I don't think it will be ported soon :(

Not MFC, but win32 api.

There is exactly the substitute you are talking about. It's called "wine".
The fact is that wine isn't nice (interface), I will prefer native both because of the interface and the performance.
