What do you like best about TextPad?

I have been using TextPad for more than a decade. Textpad is the go-to solution for me while handling massive data sets. TextPad has a powerful find and replacement tool; users can replace regular expressions, diacritics, invisible spaces, etc. I wonder how the macro option in this tool always works perfectly. Raw data from web scraping can easy be processed and edited into usable data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about TextPad?

It is simple to use and offers more functions than a notepad does. TextPad is an excellent tool for rapid modifications that allows us to code swiftly. It is also fantastic for coding because it highlights the code for me while coding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TextPad?

It's challenging to think of any cons for Textpad. This is an excellent text editor for general editing, as was already described. If someone frequently create HTML/XML or do data processing, Textpad does not have several more typical functionalities in these situations. Update tags are supported in Sublime Editor, which is excellent because TextPad does not. As a generic editor, Textpad is effective overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The most crucial function that a text editor should have files comparison; it allows users who work with thousands of files to track changes over time. In my instance, it was useful for ASM and file comparisons, including HTML, CSS, and JS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
