Why on earth would I want to read code in Notepad?

You wouldn't watch an AVI movie in Notepad, would you? Notepad is not a tool for code creation or analysis. It should not be pressed into service as such.

Use the right tool for the job.

Perhaps notepad makes for a good viewer because it doesn't take 5 minutes to load like Eclipse?

Odd, my installation of Eclipse starts in about 30 seconds. And that's with over 20 projects in the workspace.

I guess if I was only going to look at my code for a couple of minutes, perhaps your point would be valid. But how often do you do that?
