While this is true for Notepad++, I don't think it's valid for "most"
editors. Notepad++ is really an oddity in this respect, and this is also
one of the two major beefs I have with it. (The other is that very few
of its menu items have shortcut keys associated. Among others, it makes
it almost impossible to associate the line wrapping command with a
shortcut key.)

Here's one (Eclipse, which is what HI-TIDE is based on) for which it
isn't true :)

VS2005/2008 definitely can open multiple (>2) windows of a file.
(There's two more :) Not sure about VS6 (not installed anymore), but I'm
almost sure it can, too.

Huh? You sure that this limitation isn't between keyboard and chair? :)
Have you ever tried the "New Window" command (typically in the Windows
or View menus)?
