  • I have been using Crimson Editor for almost 15 years and it is the BEST pure text editor you can find for Windows. I am currently running 3.70 on Win10 and it is still works great. It is light-weight but EXTREMELY powerful, and has a combination of features other text editors do not. What I do NOT love is that there is NO support. I had hoped when it moved SourceForge that maybe that would change, but there has not been an update in over 12 years, so .... 4 stars not 5. BTW, Speaking of a feature not seen anywhere else .... if anyone needs Keyword files for Arduino .ino , let me know.
  • In all ways, this is the most light-weight, all feature providing text editor I've ever found. Been using it for last 10+ years as default editor. Column mode, CNTRL+\ (return to last edit), Split window, customization of colors and key-words, Macros, Block-selection, reg-exp, Tabbed-windows etc are great features. Highlight and just search (w/o CNTRL+F) saves lot of time while searching. Usage as an IDE : Tools config, output capture (from compilers etc), Project/Folder view etc are superb.
  • I'm using Crimson Editor for a long time now. It is very useful. There are some improvements which i would like to see (to make the working with ced easier) but CED is simply great as it is.
  • At least on Windows 7, the editor always asks me for the administrator password when started. I do have admin rights, but it's absolutely annoying to enter the admin pwd every time. Not useful for me.
  • Is this really a valid release? Version 3.72 doesn't support drop of files, which original Crimson Editor 3.70 does. And when trying to access a windows share it asks for user/password despite that share already having been authenticated. Crimson 3.70 does not require user/password to access the same share. Switching back to 3.72 and it asks for the credentials.
  • Needed a lightweight text editor that supported Matlab, got exactly what I wanted. Please continue supporting this project!
