Had high hopes as this is kind of a more cross platform, simpler version of notepad++
http://projects.gnome.org/gedit/
Process:
1. Ran univ extract
2. Ran bin/gedit.exe
Saves a LOT of files to the User folder, User/AppData, User/Temp.
and many settings to registry in
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\ (v2.30.1-1)
NOT portable
Edit: as with many OSS programs, PortableApps has a developing version (http://portableapps.com/node/20902).
