My 2 cents: I have to agree. I just tried notecase, and I can't even get it to import a plain text file. After having many pda-like machines (Newton, Zaurus, and now n800) I have found plain text is the best for portibility.

I just rolled back to OS2007 for leafpad (a nice GUI-based plain text editor). I have tried pygtkeditor, but found it too slow for editing large (read 200k+) text files. Probably great for small file software development.

Perhaps leafpad or a gedit-like app will be ported to OS2008.
