UltraEdit Reviews & Product Details - Page 4

Overall, UltraEdit provides the level of editing power that professional programmers, web developers, and other technical users need, but they make that power very accessible.

* It's as good for editing source code as it is for editing text data files (including CSV).

* You can specify almost any common programming language; UltraEdit understands that language's syntax for code formatting and identifying functions, procedures, etc. You can also extend this feature as needed.

* It includes tools for formatting and editing CSS, JSON and HTML.

* UltraEdit performs very well when you're working with huge data files, it's very speedy!

* This editor NEVER crashes, even when doing global search/replace on big files.

Notes:

* I've only used the Windows version of UltraEdit, though they have Mac and Linus versions.

* I've used UltraEdit for over 20 years and regularly recommend it to team-mates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While they've made accessing settings easier over the years, I wish they'd make it even easier to find and change settings. There are some customizations I only wish I could make, so it works like I want (e.g., Home key moves to column 1, not the first non-blank column). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Speed, easy of use, many unique features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. Each feature is well thought out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything: Performance, flexibility, customization. Most especially: macro support, ability to handle huge text files, hex view, fast search-and-replace, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One (very) minor complaint; the option to view the ASCII table used to be in a more prominent position in the menu structure, on the "View" tab, I think. Then, I believe, it was moved under "Font" or "Print" for a few releases, and now it's under Layout. Finding this quick reference tool is the only thing I remember ever going to the "Help" menu for. UE is that intuitive! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using UltraEdit since at least 1996. I had to go digging but found a support request to unlock my software for ver. 2.10. While I have used it mostly for coding, I've used it to clean up data for data transfers, recover files, troubleshoot file issues, compare files, search and replace in files, pretty much every major feature over the years. And yes, over the years I have periodically tried other editors and while they are generally good at one thing, they'll lack something like column mode, the ability to tile the windows or to do a search and replace over multiple files or something else I use often.

I really can't think of anything I dislike. I wish the FTP utility was a little more robust as I still really need/like a separate FTP software, but honestly, that's not really the function of an editor, just a personal wish. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

UltraEdit is the best suite to code and develop in different programming languages. The best is the window layout, where you can see all the files you are editing at a time. Plus, with multiline cursor you can select different lines at different positions with a single cursor. I can program in many languages such as C++, Python, XML, HTML, PHP, C, etc. It has also an embedded Hex editor that allows you to edit programs in hex mode. Moreover, it is being updated constantly giving me new features that I find very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Probably the thing that I dislike it is it becomes slow when you edit multiple files and I need to find words or expressions. Searching in files needs an improvement and it worked properly in the previous version. Probably it will be fixed in next updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the interface, as much as I use VSCode in the past I like this one better Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its overwhelming at first, a short but detailed tutorial on how things work might be useful (even though the interface is straightforward, but still for a better User experience) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Flexibility - ultraedit allows you to customize the software to meet your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish I had deeper integration with statistical software, such as SAS or Stata - even syntax highlighting continues to not work well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The nice clean, customisable IDE which makes text manipulation and indeed coding, extremely easy. The regular updates, and my lifetime purchase of those updates makes life very easy.

Their support function has always been extremely helpful and responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've not found any issues with Ultredit in all the years of using it, although I was sad when it no longer fitted on a single floppy disk. Although that says more about my age than anything else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Best text editor in town, very easy to use and dependable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Security is lesser compared to other text editors like notepad, need to add more features like showing the snippets Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love working with UltraEdit -- it is now my go-to text editor. It is the editor in which I edit and create pages for my website. It allows me to see the changes immediately, and the FTP function makes moving things between my computer and my website. The number of different programming languages it supports is excellent. The frequency of updates is impressive, and they are all very substantive updates. Well worth the price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
