KATE is a native Linux equivalent to Windows Notepad++, there are others.
Both, as well as text edit, do tabs per document, names sessions that load a set of files, selectable programming syntax if needed and powerful regex based search&replace. You can group text documents per project and have an interface like a tabbed browser.
Notepad++ can work on WINE on Linux, but since Notepad++ is based on a Linux program there are plenty of native Linux ones.
KATE may stand for KDE Advanced Text Editor, though it doesn't need KDE.
Notepad++ has no connection to Windows Notepad (of which there are different kinds) other than being for Windows.
