It is the only editor that lets me open as many files as I want and does S&R on all open files.
The SciTech editor which uses the same editor "engine" only lets me open ten files at once and doesn't do operations on multiple file. But is available for Linux.
I haven't played around with Notepad++ very much, but how is it possible to do regex search and replace but *not* multi-line search and replace? Aren't the line separators just special characters in the regex?

Also in Scite, you can increase the number of simultaneous files you are allowed to have open by editing the setup configuration file.
