User Reviews

  • Best editor for most things on Linux. Started using it in 1998!? on Solaris, still my primary editor on Linux. Great for fixing data files, scripting, programming etc - anything really plus it's quick. There's not be anything that matches it easy of use in all these years. Nothing beats its cut and paste (rectangular selection etc). For heavy java dev work then maybe IDE (netbeans etc) but day to day use perfect.
  • Perfect editor for coding. As long as you stick to the ASCII character set as other stated, it's more than fine. It's fast, no eye candies. Perfect for the KISS philosophy. I have been using it for more than 15 years. My own Sourceforge project is 100% written on Nedit (almost 100 kloc).
  • I've been using NEdit ever since it was first released, first on VMS with DCE, then on UNIX and X/Motif, and t has never left my toolbox. It is a great editor, with features still unavailable in modern editors, easily configurable and intuitive, simplicity itself, the very example of UNIX philosophy of "do one thing and do it well". It's only drawback is the lack of support for multibyte character sets (e.g. Unicode/UTF), but for programming, which I always do (and advice to do) in English so the code can be shared, that is not a real issue. Close to 30 years using it and still loving it!
  • Excellent and easy-to-use text editor with great syntax highlighting.
  • This editor is a work of art, inside and outside.
