(Original )Information
What do you like best about Textadept?

Textadept is a very light tool. I love its preview function, so I can see the code of the whole file and access it easily. I like your library of plugins, which allow me to customize the editor. The accessibility of the user platform, which allows the development of several programming languages such as CSS, HTML or JS at the same time, is another of the most important features of this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Textadept?

What I did not like about the application is that it does not have a GUI to change the keyboard shortcuts, I must do it manually. It is also an inconvenience if the add-ons are updated incorrectly since the program must be uninstalled and installed again losing all the configurations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Textadept:

Textadept is easy to use and your customization options will enchant you. I consider it an opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of open source and explore the different opportunities it offers. I recommend using this editor to take advantage of the large number of add-ons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use Textadept to simultaneously develop HTML, CSS and JS code. The most important benefit at the enterprise level has been that we have replaced a paid editor with a free and open source editor. The editor has allowed us to expand knowledge in terms of customization by immersing ourselves in the open source market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
