A note taking app notably useful for the Samsung S Pen.
It could be better, but it's usable.

A straightforward and capable Windows text editor which also has a portable version.
This seems like a nice daily driver for little things. I shouldn't replace Geany with it though since I want something cross-platform.
It's really stupid that it doesn't have configurable shortcuts unless I want to compile it from source.

Geany is a GTK2 (GUI) text editor which is light and featureful. Here is a sampling of features from their about page:
- Syntax highlighting
- Code folding
- Symbol name auto-completion
- Construct completion/snippets
- Auto-closing of XML and HTML tags

Call tips
This is a editor that does such magical things as use control up/down to skip paragraphs. I love it for in-page bookmarking, code folding, search-replace, escaped-replaces and regular expressions for selections, documents and groups of documents.

I also (sometimes) use Leafpad.

A particularly powerful plain text editor
It's a great text editor, but its todo.txt functionality is wholly unusable and won't be fixed.

A beautified text editor with the widgets around the edges removed ("distraction-free").
I started using it because I couldn't trivially get Geany spell checking working. Once I did get it working I stopped.
Although I've used this on Linux a bit, it merely idles in my Windows kit.

The license-unencumbered version of Pico.
Small, easy. Needs some basic functionality but is still quite useful.
