Why can't Linux have programs like notepad and wordpad? Even the fastest basic editor I can find is much slower to load than notepad. Also, as an ex-windows user, I want something easy to load RTF files - without having to use the bigger & slower word processors.

  Abiword.
  
  If that doesn't load fast enough for you, you're just hard to please.

  Isn't vi fast enought for you?
  
  To open RTF, you may like KWord or Abiword.
