Sadly, Notepad++ has never been the most professional project out there. It's decent, though I tend to think people who are obsessed with it need to back away from Windows for a second and try Kate.

So, I think this might illustrate that high on their features list should be 'English Spellcheck'.

You can run Kate on MS Windows now (in common with the rest of KDE4, http://windows.kde.org/).

Ha. Try a professional project named "Kate".

I don't understand, do you mean there's something wrong with the name 'Kate' (KDE Advanced text Editor), that the appearance and conduct Kate developers are not professional, or that there is something unprofessional about the program?

The name, obviously. Doesn't matter what it stands for, it's a girls first name.

Damn right! Girly program languages suck. That's why I never even bothered to try Ada, and why my favourite is Python.

Well, Microsoft Bob isn't a very professional name either.

Well, it's just a text editor. I've had good experiences with girls named 'Kate', so for me, this is a bonus.

So is "Cat".

So is "Vi" ... well, it's short for Violet. Can't imagine calling a girl "Emacs" though ...
