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 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??

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?!

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 For web editing, I have found nothing better than EditPlus (www.editplus.com).

UltraEdit is like TopStyle, light years ahead of the rest. 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.
