Geany... it's magic! Or about as magic & exciting as a text editor can be.
The version on softonic is old and the current version is 1.23, which you should try. Geany is pretty light and quick multi-document editor and I prefer it over Notepad or even Notepad++.
Pros:
MDI (multi-document interface), aka tabs
lightweight
fast
loads quickly
looks professional
Cons:
no option to set file associations More
