If you are referring to Notepad under Windows, when I must work under Windows, I usually use Wordpad, which is able to work with very large files. I don't know what the limit might be. Wordpad is rather primitive compared to linux text editor options that I prefer, but it has enough options to be useful, and I found it better than Notepad.
Notepad != Notepad++ Latter is far superior IFF you must use M$.
You're going to shoot yourself (or some other poor sod) in the foot using Wordpad. Especially if you edit any ascii src, config, etc..
Notepad++ is really nice, free text editor if you're forced to use Winwoes. That said, were I in such a position and not wanting to battle Emacs on M$, I think I'd pony up for a Sublime license.
I did not know there is a GUI frontend for VIM, I voted/use Pluma because it's a great fork of gedit, it actually works, looks and feels 100% better than gedit in Debian 7.x Xfce.
