What a fantastic programmer's editor!
Whenever I'm using this great quality piece of software I wonder why I was messing around with that "ultra-garbageware" (aka UltraEdit) all these years.

Fantastically complete editor. You just have to use it to really appreciate how well it does it's job.

Simply a great text editor. I have tried many different editors but this is my favourite.

I wouldn't think of using anything else. (I've tried.)

emanresU deriseD reviewed v3.12 on Dec 4, 2009

This software is not "bug free". No software is.

I see no reason to switch from UltraEdit. UE is much more configurable in terms of file handling, system integration, and (importantly) interface. (Is there even a way to show toolbar text in this thing? And no, that's not the extent of what I'm talking about regarding its configurability.)

ssb reviewed v3.10 on Dec 4, 2008

The best text editor.
Small footprint, ultra fast, fully configurable, fully UNICODE complient, affordably priced and best of all bug-free. What else can we ask? (a 64bit version maybe)

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

The best of its kind.

pjafrombbay reviewed v3.10 on Dec 3, 2008

I would give this editor more than a 5 rating if it was possible. This is my favourite editor. The Clip Library feature saves me hours and hours of work over the year. I have developed a clip called "normal.html" where I have all my frequently used HTML tags and attributes in the one clip and then use EditPlus as a word processor, saving files as HTML - who needs bloated office suites?

Highly recommended.

It's the happy medium between huge HTML or PHP editors and NotePad. When you get used to it you understand that it has so many powerful and easy-to-use features to you that is saves days of both code-editing and editing of simple text. And on the same time it's so fast and not clumsy! The only problem for me is not full support of regular expressions. But it's enough in 95% cases

uberfly reviewed v3.01 on Apr 16, 2008

I agree with the other positive reviews. Bought this several years ago and it's been heavily used since for quick web editing and a lot more. For me, a great mid point between Dreamweaver and the always underwhelming notepad. Powerful, light and just well done for what it is.

Nighted reviewed v3.01 on Apr 14, 2008

My favorite HTML editor. :)

zridling reviewed v3.0 Build 323 on Mar 19, 2008

Anyone else notice that 3.x is a free upgrade from previous versions? Now that's staying classy.

ssb reviewed v3.0 Build 323 on Feb 12, 2008

There are so many editors out there; some are bloated, huge and hard to use. Others are buggy garbageware or silly kid-ware.

EditPlus is an exception to that rule. Minimalistic but feature rich is a real tool. A serious code editing tool for people who really need it.

Highly Recommended!

JeRrYFaR reviewed v3.0 Build 323 on Feb 12, 2008

The best text editor (besides Windows) there is. Hands down. I like it so much, that I purchased it. Was well worth it.

stisev reviewed v2.31 build 406 on Apr 8, 2007

The best text editor/reader for Windows. Hands down.

UltraEdit can kiss my ass.

adamlau reviewed v2.31 build 406 on Mar 16, 2007

Amazingly stable, loads immediately. Excellent support, interface is particularly customizeable. Can be pared down to less than 1.5 MB on disk. Not quite as lightweight as the editors of Extreme Power Tools, but my preferred text editor for all occasions nonetheless.

zridling reviewed v2.31 build 406 on Mar 15, 2007

Its customizability alone makes EditPlus worth having. Not updated often, but it's near perfect!

ssb reviewed v2.30 Build 286 on Jan 6, 2007

After years fighting UltraEdit countless bugs(buggy unicode, folding, highlighting etc), I gave up and got a license of EditPlus. This little gem, is an excellent feature-rich programmers editor, better than most competitive software. I wonder why I didn't switch earlier...

Some invaluable features:

1. Excellent UTF-8 encoding support
2. FTP and LAN folders treeview
3. Great FTP/SFTP support
4. Fully compatible with Windows Vista
5. Simple but fast and working code folding
6. The fastest syntax highlighting rendering engine. Very accurate and extremely customizable

PS: The latest built is 315 not 286 mentioned here.

Highly Recommended!

zridling reviewed v2.30 Build 286 on Jan 5, 2007

Fast, light, highly customizable, actively developed, EditPlus is pretty fantastic.

Ergo reviewed v2.21 on Feb 17, 2006

The best text editor for professional web developer. PHP, HTML, JavaScript, MySQL. I've been using it for 4 years! Not overloaded with not needed functions as other programs... Very fast, very configurable and has classic design!

cacko reviewed v2.21 on Jan 13, 2006

great editor, sadly it crashes very often when editing files from ftp servers.

zridling reviewed v2.21 on Dec 15, 2005

The fix list above is pretty amazing, since I experienced none of those problems with the previous version. EditPlus is highly customizable and a great investment if you're not using UltraEdit.

zridling reviewed v2.20 on Aug 27, 2005

Wish it handled larger files, but EditPlus is extremely customizable and with its small footprint, well worth the investment.

kerebos reviewed v2.12 on Feb 1, 2005

undoubltly the best text editor in the world :)

deadmonkey reviewed v2.12 on Feb 1, 2005

I have been using EditPlus for about 6 months for C and Perl programming and basic HTML and it is great all round. Has some very nice features and the developer got back to me within a few hours a number of times while I was trialing the application which prompted me to buy it.

I would have rated only one editor about EditPlus, that being UltraEdit, however recent "upgrades" to UltraEdit have made it much slower and UltraEdit's Unicode support is very buggy so I am now happy to say EditPlus is my favourite editor at the moment.

Well worth the money. If you are looking for a good programmers editor then at least give it a try. It is fast and light but has so much power.

avdven reviewed v2.12 on Feb 1, 2005

First off, just FYI, this version (2.12) has been out for quite some time. Not sure why it was just posted but oh well.

Anyway, onto my review. This is the best text editor I have used, bar none. I tried TextPad for a while, but the ability to create and import new syntax highlighting schemes into EditPlus make it a must-have tool for anyone who writes programs in obscure (or even not-so-obscure) languages. For instance, I have used EditPlus for x86 assembly, MIPS, Prolog, Standard ML, SQL and LISP development. Many of these programming languages have compilers or interpreters which do not have built-in editors, requiring one to use an external editor. The problem, as many developers know, is that without syntax highlighting, it is much easier to make mistakes and not notice them right away. I highly suggest any developers out there that are looking for a text-editing solution to download this program then go to the website, click "User Files" and download whichever syntax files you need. I guarantee it will make things much easier. Also, if you can't find what you are looking for on the site, download a couple syntax files, view their contents, and you should be able to write your own very quickly.

Been using this for a few years as well, and it is without a doubt the best text editor i have used. Developed most of the sites i maintain at work using this!!

I've been using this software for years now. For text based web development.. this program rules!

Simply the best editor out there!

bobad reviewed v2.10c on Feb 19, 2001

This program is simply the best in its class (Plain Text HTML/Text Editors)

bvoven reviewed v2.01a on Mar 14, 2000

I would have to agree with Ritz's comments. Personally, I can't keep myself from using UltraEdit, but EditPlus, together with TextPad 4.0, is definitely among the best of the text editors.

And don't be fooled by its misleading reputation of being a text-based HTML editor: it's not. It just has some nice HTML-aware features; you can just as easily edit perl or xml files if you want!
