Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Has all the modern features. East to record macro keystrokes. Fast loading has hex display. Better than Notepad++. Handles ftp built in. It's been my editor of choice for years.
  • My previous editor became unstable in recent releases, so I found myself searching for a new one. I seriously tried about 3 or 4 different editors for a few weeks each, but found EditPlus and stopped looking. For my particular needs editing Perl scripts, it's perfect. It easily supported running the Perl interpreter to syntax check the code and show the output in a separate pane. Color syntax highlighting and code folding are supported. It also has handled large files in the tens of megabytes quickly. It also allows for a fair amount of keyboard customization, so I was able to set up the key combinations I'm already familiar with for various operations. It also has the ability to insert code snippets which I have found useful on a few occasions. I don't use it to its fullest extent, but for what I need to do, it's intuitive, fast, and stable. I've yet to encounter an exception during operation and I use it for many hours per day, every day.

Cons

  • Hardly any. I like the features and nice menu design.
  • There have only been a couple of nits that are bothersome, and the author corrected them quickly upon being reported. The only one that I still encounter on a frequent basis is my need to have the File->Open dialog open to the same folder every time regardless of where I last opened a file from. Currently, it always defaults to the last folder you opened a file from, which means I often have to click through the folder hierarchy to get to my work folder.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It's free and open-source, extremely fast start-up times, uses very little memory, and surprisingly customizable (I barely did any myself though; I wanted to keep it light). I find it useful for swiftly taking notes at a moment's notice, but I have also used it to quickly peek through config files, source code, or even certain text documents--they all just work. As a user who swaps between Windows and Linux, it being cross-platform is such a huge plus for me, and is the leading reason why I use it over Notepad++. As much as I like tinkering with software and hardware alike, I also don't want to find out that certain features I use regularly on one OS's notepad don't exist on other OS's notepads, even some third-party ones. It's just some peace of mind.

Cons

  • It lags for ~1 sec when it wraps text for the first time since the app was opened. Even after using this app for over a year, I still find the logo hard to identify as a text editor of any kind. I still have to tell people who borrow my laptop that my notepad app is this, even when it's pinned to the taskbar and start menu.
