After I started using Ubuntu I looked around for an alternative to Notepad++. I really like using Notepad++ to write HTML and such. Gedit is basicly the same thing, and is installed with Ubuntu. I find the actual experience of interacting with them to be almost the same.

The two editors do look somewhat different, but you can see that they are largely similar.

SciTE’s free version is available for Linux-compatible systems with GTK+ and Windows while a commercial version is up for download from the Mac App Store.
