UltraEdit has been ported to Linux.

Now if I could just find a decent file manager I'd start thinking that
Linux was almost ready for the desktop

I thought you were going to say Notepad had been ported

Can't say that I have ever heard of Ultraedit.

What makes Ultraedit better than VI or... Writer?

And have you used Midnight Commander? In my opinion it is a superb character-based file manager.
What about it don't you like as a file manager?

And lets not forget about Kate - its part of the KDE project - http://www.kde.org - and it is an excellent
GUI based text editor.

Nice, but it's a bit outside my price range though.

It's OK as a basic editor but it has nowhere near the features
UltraEdit has.

Learning to use UltraEdit doesn't cause brain damage
Isn't Writer a word processor?

I just never got used to Midnight Commander. I like the Windows
Explorer way of working. There are a number of good Windows file
managers which use that style. I'm trying Ubuntu again so I might see
if any of them are usable under Wine.

Check out X File Explorer ("xfe") - it is a file manager that has been
designed with the ubiquitously familiar MS Windows look and feel.
