Yeah i totally agree with notepad++ is hard to beat.
But i designed this for people who don't know much about skinning.

what plugins do you use?

XML Tools, xbrackets, a multiclipboard plugin, a project manager plugin, multiline find-and-replace to name a few.

If most of the skinner are using notepad++ i would suggest making a notepad++ plugin for xbmc skinning. Something close to what i did with this application but integrated to notepad multiclipboard would be from what i would start a tabbed interface that can be moved anywhere . I am pretty sure i can get a image previewer within notepad++ directly. The xbmc testing could be also included in the plugin. Well there also many other thing that could be added in a notepad++ plugin.

No problem i already tested before posting this message to see if i was able to do it. And didn't get any problem with compiling and testing my first plugin Smile

The first thing i will try to do is a drag and drop of a control into the text.
