The only time I ever used M$ Office was when I had to at work. I could have 
bought it for $14 for home use once (company deal) and I had zero interest 
in it. Just bloatware in my opinion. As for Notepad++, I use Jstar for just 
about everything. If I wanted something that looks something like Notepad++ 
I would probably look into Kate (K Advanced Text Editor). But I'm not 
looking for a Notepad++ clone. Have no need for it.
