There are a number of things I would definitely like to see added/improved: 
http://code.google.com/p/pnotepad/issues/list?can=1&q=reporter%3Ansetbtgnws

But those are generally fairly minor things, and a number of them I think 
are really more scintilla than PN2 (PN2 uses the scintilla text-edit 
control).

So yea, overall I've been very happy with it, much more than any other 
editor I've tried. Doesn't have the sluggishness and bloat of VS.NET and 
Eclipse (doesn't have all the bells and whistles of Eclipse, but I can live 
without bells and whistles, especially if I'm not using Java). Doesn't have 
the strange "10% CPU usage while idle" or long start-up time or 
non-MRU-based ctrl-tab system that C::B has, or C::B's insistence on always 
trying to open HTML in a WYSIWYG instead of text-mode. Doesn't do the weird 
"EOL isn't treated as EOL" behavior some other editors do. Doesn't require 
tons of configuration. Highlights D out-of-the-box (and *not* by pretending 
it's C/C++). And it does all the basics I need, like basic project support, 
external command-line tools, customizable cmd-line-tool output parsing for 
jump-to-file/line/position, keyboard commands for comment/indent/unindent, 
find in files, show/hide whitespace and/or EOL markers, tabs <-> spaces, 
doesn't try to use any weird skins, doesn't waste UI space, doesn't have 
"invisible-text-syndrome", etc.
