In Windows, I see no reason to change from the plain and simple NotePad. When I need to get fancy, I can always open up MS Word, or if I don't need that many options, WordPad.

Well, I apologize for being a bit pedantic, but there's more to a plaintext editor than a lack of features. Plain text is a distinctly different format from the Rich text documents produced by programs such as Word. It's commonly used to store code; for example, every single bit of HTML, Javascript, CSS, and PHP used to produce this web page is stored inside of various plain text documents. And so naturally the more advanced editors are mostly geared towards this.
