gedit Reviews & Product Details

Gedit is lightweight. It can work on text files with the same efficiency as command-line based editors. It is usually pre-installed with major Linux distributions, and that is because it IS the best! With a very simple and minimalistic UI, Gedit also handles large text files quite easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gedit lacks the visual attractiveness that usually dominates the appeal. For example, the stock version of the software looks minimalistic with a basic set of color-scheme, but not all users would prefer that. Furthermore, customizing the themes is quite a task with Gedit, as compared to other text editors where they can switch the themes with a few keystrokes itself.

This editor is quite useful for users with programming background. Support for keybinding customizations is amazing.

The UI is quite minimalistic and is a great substitute to notepad in ubuntu. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The features could have been much better in the application. CLI tools require better access to UI especially for linux OS. The developers behind this application should now focus on making it more feature-powered and comparable to Sublime Text and similar editors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is simple and light to work. It is a perfect replacement for Notepad of Windows in Ubuntu. I use it to clean texts copied from the browser. It removes formatting and provides the plain that I require. The best thing about this is that it is simple, lightweight, and fast. It shows multiple files in tabs, making it even more impressive.

It's basic and I think that's about it. It comes with a straightforward UI and works well when there is a need to quickly open files for editing from the command line and quick saving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The functionalities could have been better. Command line tools require better access to UI especially for GUI based Linux OSes like Ubuntu. This would have been better if there was a shortcut or application as well that could be ported to other platforms and synced with terminals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
