RIP UltraEdit

Take a look at Notepad2 (http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html)

I had a look at PSPad and it is nice but it isn't an UltraEdit killer. UltraEdit is like TopStyle, light years ahead of the rest.

For web editing, I have found nothing better than EditPlus (www.editplus.com). So many great features (favorite being Ctrl+Shift+S to save AND upload to the FTP site and dir of your choice)… every web programmer should give it a shot

The search for the perfect text editor is the Gnomie Holy Grail. All I can do is point you in the direction of Helios' TextPad (http://www.textpad.com/) and wish you luck… :D

PSPad is nice, but it's not as advanced as NoteTab Pro, and certainly doesn't have the power of UltraEdit. PSPad choked on 7, 10, and 11Mb files in word wrap mode whereas UltraEdit opens a 500Mb file in less than three seconds. EditPlus is far more customizable than PSPad, but worst of all, PSPad does not allow variable-width fonts. That alone makes it unusable for a large segment of users who prefer to use Frutiger, Verdana, or any screen font rather than dirty old Courier New. But this seems to be more fanfare for freeware than whether it's better than the others. Besides, what are you doing using MetaPad, man?!

Now I am not sure you have tried Notepad++, this is rich and quick which many paid softwares are not.

PSPad is still amazing. :)

[...] PSPad is my favorite text editor – ever. I’ve even replaced all NOTEPAD.EXE calls with it. I’ve written about PSPad before with RIP UltraEdit and Notepad Wars. Try it – you’ll love it. [...]

you guys are retarded pspad not only contains more than any other editor does but in a gui format and is free. Well maybe it doesn’t beat unix’s VI but what does. Anywho dont post crap if you dont know what your talking about

I tried PSPad for about a minute. I went to try to do a column edit, but I could only do a column select, what gives?? Also, I really like the usability of regular expressions in UltraEdit. I haven’t seen other editor do as good a job..

I use editplus and pspad. Also gedit. I like reformat button on pspad to generate clean html and css files.

I use NaviCoder editor. It’s free and load very fast. I think it’s another alternative.
