Our company is migrating everyone from Windows to Linux too.
I've used Textpad for years and love it. I definetly agree with others that text editors under Linux are currently quite lacking. I'd love to see Textpad ported to Linux.
I love textpad! and when I think of going linux-only on my next machine (at home AND at work), textpad is the only thing I will truly miss. It's too bad, because more likely than not, I will leave textpad behind
cheers.
I agree, a Linux version would rock very much. Nothing on Linux compares to TextPad. I primarily use TextPad at work, and use Kate on my Linux box at home, but it doesn't compare.
I've used both on the FC/RH distros and IMHO they don't even begin to compare with TP. Alas! TP is just about the last thing holding on to me here in Gatesland.

a different way to be
you are right, TPad has some real advantages. I think that most people who know linux well enough wouldnt use some of the options given in textpad. For example, people who are starting to use Java would like the compile and run menu options in TPad, your average linux dude always has a shell open and likely wouldnt bother with this....
Im actually writing a Java app, that will be an combo text/graphics editor. If I can work out some final issues in the next while, I'll compile my own editor in linux and be done with it.
