Notepad++ and the way I can use it for sftp (e.g., I can use it based on a connection, & I don't have to set up a complete "project". This is VERY useful for when I grade student assignments on a remote server, where I want a one-off connection that I can browse directories through, and the speed of a GUI.).
Winscp, also for the GUI experience.
Note: I am very comfortable with the command line and Linux in general, and I do use a CLI most of the time. However, there are some times when a nice GUI lets me ingest information and execute commands faster.
I like Ubuntu in general, and use it for all of my VMs and servers, but I hate, HATE, H-A-T-E Unity. In a way, Unity itself is something that prevents me from switching to Linux as a preferred desktop environment. (Yes, I know that there are other desktops, e.g., Plasma, but they are a pain to reconfigure every time that I upgrade Ubuntu. At least Windows is consistent for years at a time!
Also, a Linux desktop environment itself doesn't always feel as polished as Windows programs. And, as someone else already mentioned, those scrollbars are frustrating. Frustrating = I don't want to use it.
