Calmly Writer vs. UltraEdit

UltraEdit is well suited for editing very large files. The macro editor is very powerful and easy to use. If one needs a quick-to-open text file editor, you will find UltraEdit much too slow to load. Compared to some free editors on the market, the basic individual user license is quite expensive.

• Search and replace in files that are not open
• Cut and paste columns - I don't know any other program that can do this!
• Is a super fast and powerful text editor.

• The color coding capacity is rudimentary and keyword based only. A good color coding mechanism should allow context.
• With the latest versions, the top menu has a lot of big icons and has a user-friendly kind of look which impacts the actual text window. Most users don't fancy pretty icons and like efficiency over pretty buttons.

As a program UltraEdit comes ready to use out of the box and requires very little setup for it to be extremely useful. It's flexibility among a wide array of tasks and files makes it a go-to for all our troubleshooting and data viewing needs. Timely updates and great support.

Have never needed support, not once. So giving them a 10 for the fact that their product is so good that we've never needed it.

I have evaluated Notepad++ as an alternative to UltraEdit. In some cases, such as loading time, Notepad++ is a superior product. However, in terms of editing existing macros, and editing very large text files UltraEdit is a much better product.
