What do you like best about PolyEdit?

For rapid text creation and initial proofreading, PolyEdit is fast, unobtrusive, and does not overload the user interface. I consider it a good tool for writing emails and taking notes during meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PolyEdit?

I also found that PolyEdit does not have any actual collaboration tools. This disqualifies it for projects where there is work that must be done in cooperation on just one document. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PolyEdit solving and how is that benefiting you?

I now use PolyEdit to generate ideas and to come up with the first draft of the content that I am developing. It is quite fast and convenient when it comes to first drafts which require none or very little interference with the flow of ideas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PolyEdit?

PolyEdit has very favorable features such as its support for different languages, frames and environments. It should be noted that plugins can be installed without additional costs such as lineEdit. I am also surprised by its text protection option, which allows it to be possible to copy the content of my lines of code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PolyEdit?

The user interface can be a bit confusing. In my opinion, I have found it difficult to remember the position of some commands on the menu. In addition, you should install certain add-ons to the program when installed to take full advantage of its features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PolyEdit:

A good text editor if you like to install your own plugins to support the applications in which you work. On the other hand, PolyEdit has a fully accessible price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PolyEdit solving and how is that benefiting you?

PolyEdit has given me support in the development of applications projects as it has package installation, folder management and other tools that I need to add functionality and improvements to the applications code. In addition, this editor supports several programming languages, so the language will not be an inconvenience when programming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PolyEdit?

I believe that this editor should implement a code preview window to be able to notice the changes while programming. The autoformat function can also be a bit confusing, because there is no material online to install it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PolyEdit:

I would recommend PolyEdit without any doubt for its ease of installation, use and most features that may be useful for the development of your projects, scripts or queries. If you are an advanced developer, you will love this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PolyEdit solving and how is that benefiting you?

PolyEdit is a tool that gives me the ability to encode HTML, PHP, JavaScript easily for web applications. It is also beneficial to be able to open several files in multiple tabs within the PolyEdit instance without the program slowing down.

What do you like best about PolyEdit?

PolyEdit is a simple and straightforward rich text editor and word processor. It has all the main features you would expect to get the job done. It's not bloated like Microsoft Word and it's very snappy. Unlike the page layout mentality of something like Word, PolyEdit focuses on the text itself. It's designed with writing and editing in mind.

Because of its slim and focused nature, PolyEdit is very easy to pick up and use. It will be very familiar to users of Microsoft Word, but even if you've never touched a word processor before, it shouldn't take long to start using everything in PolyEdit that you need.

Outside of the basics like font style, alignment, color, and lists that Word or Google Docs offers you, PolyEdit does have a few unique features. It has a tabbed interface so you can quickly and easily switch between working documents on the fly. It includes some great tools to work with text, including sorting, snippets, and a built-in clipboard manager. It also has a wide variety of plugins and additional tools available on the developer's site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PolyEdit?

PolyEdit hasn't been updated in a long time, and its design looks a bit dated. It still has all the features you need to get writing done, but it seems unlikely that any new features or fixes will be added in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PolyEdit:

PolyEdit is a great tool, but keep in mind the fact that it hasn't been updated for a while. There's a chance it could break in newer versions of Windows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PolyEdit solving and how is that benefiting you?

PolyEdit is a great tool for writers who just want to focus on the words. It limits the distractions of trying to write in a complicated software suite like Office or a web-based tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
