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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I'm not an HTML / CSS/ ... person, but I have built and maintained my personal sailing / nerd web pages (40 different pages, and counting) for many years, using only SeaMonkey Composer. WYSIWYG make it super easy to use. And free. I don't use the other SeaMonkey tools, just the editor. It is the successor from Netscape, so lots of history.
  • Complete suite of applications for internet usage Free to use Lightweight feature rich browser based on Firefox Email & IRC Chat client Composer - powerful HTML editor Regular Updates Large number of add-ons, themes & extensions Great community support

Cons

  • I'm sure there are better and more modern tools for making simple web pages, but none as easy and cheap as SeaMonkey. I can't make fancy, active web pages with it. I use external blogs for that, and just include links. Same with Youtube videos.
  • It is excellent - simple and powerful - for those who just want pure functionality. It is not widely popular due to its old look and no marketing.
