Looks interesting. Now that you mention it, I do seem to recall hearing
about it back then. Personally, I've been a huge fan of Programmer's
Notepad 2 <http://www.pnotepad.org/>. My #1 complaint about it though
is that it's Windows-only. I want to switch to Linux for my primary
system, but the lack of PN2 is one of the roadblocks (there are other
roadblocks, though).

Take a look at Sublime Text. It's ridicules fast and cross platform. The only problem is that it's not free. You can download it for free and dismiss a dialog popping up once in a while.

But these days I prefer RDMD-style approaches ("pass the one main
source file to a cmdline tool and it figures out the rest") because
they're trivially scriptable and don't cause a specific editor (or any
editor at all) to become a build requirement. I find that especially
important for OSS and cross-platform projects.

The problem here is when you need to use a couple of compiler switches. You need a file to put that in, usually a shell script. Unfortunately that doesn't work on Windows. So you need to duplicate that file for Windows.
