Top Rated TextPad Alternatives
It is a very complete text editor, designed to navigate, edit and work on projects of any size quickly and easily. In our company it allows us to create custom compilation chains, which is really useful to us. It is a very small but really powerful software, we successfully support ourselves with all its tools, especially with the possibility of comparison, which allows us to check between two different files, working even with unusual character sets. Compared to other software of this type, it has a great advantage for us, as it provides the opening of large files without any complications which is a great help for our continuous workflow. In addition, its functionality is very wide with the different types of files and JavaScript that we commonly handle, thanks to its external plugins that are really favorable to achieve our objectives.

It is a very powerful software, a useful tool to open almost any file that contains text or code, however, it does not contain a highly developed interface, personally it is quite obsolete in terms of graphics, so it can be diagnosed that its development it is a bit stagnant, it does not allow extensive customization and its configuration is scarce. Despite the aforementioned, in terms of utility it is a good tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

TextPad is one such tool which is mainly associated with text editing. It is used for editing large text files and working with them as it offers great performance and is very light. We can open large text files instantly with TextPad. The thing that I like the most about TextPad is the feature for Syntax highlighting when working with any programing language and its search and replace functionality which is very helpful while debugging application logs. Wrapping of logs is done nicely which is not the case with other editors. It can also be easily integrated with other tools like compilers, debug tools etc. I frequently use it when I need to work with logs or large text files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Though TextPad is an useful tool for working with text file but there are some cons of ot too like it doesn't offer the functionality yet which we get with certain IDEs like Eclipse and IntelliJ. It's UI seems to be king of very old and outdated. Also, it doesn't offers free service which we can use for our personal use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best thing about Textpad is that it is able to process very large-sized log files which I frequently use while working on Java application products. As compared to other text editors like notepad++, it is very stable and rarely crashes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Textpad is only available on the Windows platform which limits the scope of use. It would be really nice to see a Mac-Os and Linux version of this editor. Also, an improvement on the dark mode will be appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It provides the search and replace feature to find the replacement text in multiple files. It provides a syntax highlight feature to auto-correct the syntax of the code. Easy to handle large logo files in it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The customization feature and the plugin it provides are limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It supports every feature a text editor should support, coloring, indenting to formatting, macros, comparing, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It should be made available for other operating systems such as macOS, etc. and features like AI generation should be integrated though they can be a premium feature as per requirement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
