CudaText Reviews

A great editor!

This project is promising, but the UI is too sluggish. For example, after you toggle an option it takes like a second for the checkmark to show up. Also, when you put the caret on a bracket, it takes another split second for the bracket highlight to trigger. I admire the program for taking magnitudes less memory than VS Code, but VS Code feels a lot faster to work in. When you work in code at least eight hours a day, all that speed adds up.

Maybe this is a case of 'If you don't know, you don't need to know'. I've been hunting for half an hour for the Windows executable download like Mark below, but the links seem to be entirely circular. Try one to download and you get the addons. Go back to a Cuda link and you get Cuda at Github. Try another link and you're back where you started. Try 'releases' and you get addons. Try 'addons' and you get addons. Try the green Downloads and you get another page that gives you either an addons green button or circles back to the start. The Linux BSD Mac Windows words aren't tabs or even links. Talk about a program with potential dying from total obscurity. Could someone please explain how Sourceforge works? Yes, I understand it's a working platform for development, but as the great economist JK Galbraith once said, the purpose of all production is consumption. Please let me have CudaText. .exe

Excellent editor that can handle large files.

Excellent editor!

I used to be skeptical about this editor: subjective feelings of inconsistency. But now I have discovered that sublime can't run macroses with searching. But Cuda text can!

Thank you very much for the free open source program!

A promising software. There are other aspects that I think could be worked on but overall, at the moment it`s ok.

Just as another review mentioned, no actual program download fromo SourceForge, the [Download] button only yields a small "lexer" zip file. So at this point no idea what the software actually does and therefor even just two stars is already a stretch. And then folks wonder why Open Source software isn't making any inroads...

This is a classic example of "We don't need no stinkin' documentation!" There is nothing telling you how to install it. The files available here on SF are useless and you actually have to go to github to find anything. Once you get there, there is no documentation. It may be the most wonderful editor in existence, but I'll never know because I gave up on it when, after finally manually copying it to my "\Program Files" directory, it crashed because it wanted to write files back into the installation directory. Since this is a hard NO-NO in Windows (and should be anywhere else), I've deleted everything about it. My 3-star rating is simply recognition that there may be a decent app hidden under all these problems.

Very promising text editor. I will observe how this project is being developed.

CudaText is developing quickly, the developers are very active and also very responsive on the official forum. As CudaText is written in Object Pascal on Lazarus, they were able to provide official builds for Linux, macOS, Windows and FreeBSD that are all using native OS APIs but retain the same appearance on every system. CudaText is a very promising project and piece of software.

Really lightweight, and for this very small size, it can do great things. The plug-in mechanisms work perfectly; you can start coding right away. I'm starting to use it daily.

Seems to be like poor mans sublime text, cheaper in money (100%) and ram usage (~38%). Surprisingly capable for such small and light program. I wish I could find the gtk3 version... Sublime handles quoting text a bit smarter and has better go-anywhere keybindings, but other than that, cuda seems just as good and in some areas even better alternative. Excellent editor just a bit short of perfect

An excellent text editor to use for everyday work. It has most of the features needed to work with source code, and has a large number of plugins. Light-weight, does not have too many dependencies, and starts up quickly. It is also cross-platform - even has Linux-ARM support.

I use CudaText instead of Sublime or Notepad++. CudaText is fast, stable and easy to use. It has Themes, Plugins, Code completion, Project Tree and more.
