I use Notepad++ with NppFTP and TextFX, but I think TextFX is 32bit only and that most TextFX tools are integrated now anyway. I love it, and in my current investigation into the viability of switching to a Linux Desktop it's something I haven't found a good replacement for yet. Notepadqq looks like a Notepad++ clone but I'm wary of its use of Javascript and would have to convert my custom UDLs to CodeMirror modes. I'll probably end up just using Notepad++ with Wine.

When I'm on GNU/Linux, my N++ equivalent is Geany: https://www.geany.org/ https://www.geany.org/ It's a bit different in some ways, but works well enough. I haven't tried it, but it looks like there's an (unmaintained) FTP plugin for Geany: https://github.com/caiguanhao/gFTP https://github.com/caiguanhao/gFTP

  Plug, but if you're into Geany you might have a use for my "Gitbrowser" plug-in [1]. It's very light-weight (at the cost of features, it's really a browser and not a GUI for Git) and suits Geany just fine in my opinion. I especially like the "Quick Open" feature, which uses Levenshtein distance sorting to help you find a file from a few characters in the name. :) [1]: https://github.com/unwind/gitbrowser https://github.com/unwind/gitbrowser

I have similar thoughts - it would be great to hear if there is an in-significant overhead with wine…

  Why not just use Genome Text Editor or whatever its called?

  I used to use it with Wine on Lubuntu on my laptop a few years ago[0]. As I recall the only problem I ever had with it was that context menus had a titlebar. I presume this was a quirk of the Window Manager. [0] before Lubuntu switched to Qt and, for reasons I still can't put my finger on, became a lot less enjoyable to use.
