It's good. Definitely has its place in my regular workflow. But I wish it had more extensions supporting it. There are things I can make Notepad++ do via extensions that nqq just can't. That's why it's sitting next to Visual Slickedit in my taskbar. I use nqq for anything that needs more than xed (which I mostly just pull up to type quick bullshit for myself to remember for 5 minutes then close it without saving), and when I don't need the crazy power of the much heavier Slickedit.
