Featherpad also does so, by enabling the option "Start with files of last window". Also: * instead of giving an error message when it lacks permission to read a file (like mousepad) it instead prompts for credentials and attempts to open the file. * it lets you put the tabs on either side. Or use a panel with a list of open files instead of tabs ("split mode"). Featherpad does have a qt dependency, which may be a dealbreaker for some.
