I had heard a little about the bugs before, but I can't remember exactly what they were. Are there any new problems with this one, as far as anyone can tell? :/

"Once bitten"? What do you mean?
I have Notepad++ Portable 5.6 and have yet to experience a single problem... :S
It's all good
It all started with version 5.5. I had problems with plugins not updating (or updating erroneously) and settings not being remembered. I was told it wasn't a universal problem but at least half a dozen other users experienced the same problems. The only solution was to do a "fresh install".

Still, sounds like your NPP is way more tweaked than mine is...
