That seems like an awfully convoluted way to get a text editor for Linux.

Sure. I’m still amazed by the effort they put down.

Don't think there's anything in the world that compares to Notepad++.

Wine is at least a valid way to get sweet sweet video games for Linux like KOTOR, Half-Life 2, IL-2 Sturmovik and Call of Duty (examples from my low-end Intel graphics 4000 laptop).

I'm a big fan of Notepad++. I wish the UDL interface was a little more flexible, but at least I don't have to learn a new language to create one like I would with the otherwise similar Notepadqq.
