If I was malware, one of the first things I'd do is check that scratch files directory for secrets.
The default behavior of Notepad++ is a very real security risk. So many system admins and developers will throw passwords and API keys into there and just forget about it. The scratch files are all sitting there unencrypted and with easy to exploit permissions.
Alas, my first thought after seeing TextAdept was that it could serve as a more secure alternative to Notepad++.
