About UltraEdit

UltraEdit is a text editor designed for businesses of all sizes that helps programmers, web developers, and tech writers manipulate almost any type of text file on the cloud and on-premise across Windows, Linux, and MacOS. With the code folding functionality it lets users collapse blocks of code in order to focus on specific parts.

Very complete and powerful editor

It is an editor that is available in each sector of my work, and it has been useful to me even though I do not dedicate myself to programming. I have used it to search for text and edit small text files, being very useful in office tasks only for certain occasions.

Functionality

Pros:

It has a lot of functionalities that make it very special and very complete. Ideal for programmers or simply read text. Performs advanced functions apart from editing, such as highlighting text and comparing files. It is very good to edit multiple files and connect via FTP to other servers to edit files. I really like its interface and the possibility to customize its appearance.

Cons:

UltraEdit requires the user to devote a great effort to understand the large number of functions it offers. Unlike other publishers, UltraEdit offers too many possibilities and functionalities that can be overwhelming for the user. However, all this is what makes UltraEdit a very powerful and worthwhile software to understand.

The best text editor for Web developers, programmers, and just about everyone else

I've been using this program since its Version 4--and now they're up to Ver 25! I've been working on websites since the late 1990s, and a good text/HTML editor is essential--even if you are using a WYSIWYG program, especially if you want to fine tune the page appearance. While everything is now done with content management software, text tweaks still need to be accomplished. The company behind UE is dedicated to keeping it the best. Strongest recommendation.

Functionality

Pros:

Embarrassingly feature rich. Great for doing HTML work for websites--which is my main use of it. But it can be used for any text-editing requirement--and this is important for anyone whose computer needs go beyond e-mail and MS-Word. e.g. most mailing list programs allow import of text files, and these can easily be cleaned up with UltraEdit.

Cons:

As with any feature-rich program, a learning curve is involved if you want to go beyond the basics. But, there is an elaborate Help facility that will provide assistance, as well as quick customer support. I once needed some macros, and the support team wrote them for me!

Functionality

Pros:

Multiple code type templates and multi tab editing allow for ease of switching between various languages & formats easily. Tools bundled (file compare, direct connect and editing with files not local...etc.) are extremely powerful.

Cons:

Integration to Git is not straight forward and difficult to control when editing bot Git repository objects and local objects not in Git. Split screen editing between 2 or more files is not intuitive and can be difficult to consistently get the affect you are trying to get.

Long time user - because it's great

It is my go to editor when I'm not doing something in an IDE. Quickly opens the file auto-detecting human readable (apply your own encoding) or binary file. Great navigation, great all around tool for handling files of any type and size.

Cons:

I've used this editor since 1987 if there was anything I thought was a con I would have moved on a long time ago. It has only gotten stronger with age.

The Ultimate Editor

I have been using this product for over 15 years and it is my go to editor. My secondary one is BBEdit. The column editing mode is the main feature that I keep using to standardize and format code.

Pros:

This editor comes with standard editing features plus some very special editing features. There is a capability to edit by column which is rare in other editors. Copy, paste, and edit in a column mode. The find, find in files, and find and replace options enhance the editing capabilities.

Cons:

The one feature I would like is the ability to compare two files side by side to see the differences like BBEdit. There is a compare ability, but BBEdit’s capabilities outshine those of Ultraedit.
