I particularly like their one button photo enhancer for a quick start on retouches. Their screen capture utility allows multiple views, with or without cursor, and you can set up a hot button or a timer.

Notepad has its limitations, but finding specific text, and globally replacing that text, isn't one of them.

Screen capture is treated as just one of many shortcuts, so it competes with Launchy, too. Basically it allows easy creation of Control+Alt+YourKey shortcuts for launching files, finding folders within browse windows, creating pre-addressed emails, shortcutting to pre-saved text and images, launching apps and more.
