  "Nice one,"

  by corexin on August 13, 2008

  Pros: Have been using it since my first IT job, to be honest, can not change to other editor anymore.

  Tried a few times e.g. CrimEditor, EditPlus, after a while find it inconvenient to use, I may stuck with TextPad, but its good, didn't find anything too bad yet.

  F5- Search, as long as get used to it, its OK :)

  Regular Expression is Cool, I can not run regular expression freely on other editro.

  used to use it load 500M text file, no problem, just a bit slow as expected.

  Anyway stuck with the good editor :)

  Cons: F5 - search, why not follow windows standard ????

  F8 - replace???? same issue.

  "my favorite"

  by mike_is_here on August 6, 2008

  Pros: once you start with this editor, its hard to change to another.

  Cons: seems to falling a bit behind now; few updates recently; needs a bunch of new features to keep up with today's standards (e.g. unicode)

  "Solid Light-Weight Text Editor"

  by Tyrven on May 23, 2008

  Pros: Small footprint. Reasonably configurable. Popular features: indenting, regex replaces, syntax highlighting, clip libraries, document type specific preferences, etc. Plugins/add-ons for most popular languages (SQL, Java, C#, XML, XSL, XHTML, PHP, JS, CSS, C++, Ruby, etc).

  Cons: No collapsing/grouping of code/markup.
