Yeah, leafpad's better.
Beware, the notes from the built-in notes app are in HTML. Leafpad is a plain text editor startable via xterm or Desktop; it's as easy as notepad from m$.
Not really; the notes app can open and save two file types, plain text or (limited) HTML. Unfortunately, it's not horribly easy to work with, as it doesn't give you the option of squashing an html back to text to save it. So, change the font, and now it's an html, and will be saved as such without letting you know. Brilliant!
