Syntax highlighting is very useful.. thanks!
I still prefer EditPlus although it is not free.
Have you ever tried Notepad++? It has all of the features that you mentioned for Notepad 2 but also has tabs to have multiple files open.
I use Programmer’s Notepad. Never heard of this one though. May be worth a try.
