    My typical use is to edit HTML and CFM pages from prior projects, and use them to create new ones. So, I rarely use the tools for designing pages provided in this application. I have found the ability to preview a page very useful. I am aware of numerous features in this editor, that simpler editors would not provide. It has proven to be a great fit for my use.

    I like the macro feature for transforming text. For example, taking a CSV file of data and quickly turning it into a set of SQL "insert" statements. Also, useful for this is the find/replace feature using regular expressions such as taking a URL QueryString and breaking all the parameters into separate lines and perhaps sorting them for review.

    Cons
    CoffeeCup Software, Inc.
    • Maybe I could list a con if my use of it was more diverse and consistent. It does everything and more for my purposes, and in ways I Iike very much.

    • I would like a "delete non-bookmarked lines" so I can skip the "invert bookmarks" step.
    • The "Compare Text Files" could be streamlined to compare text in 2 tabs without going through the save steps.

    I never had to use support, so I can't answer this. I would hope that it is good though.

    When you want to quickly edit a file, TextPad starts up quickly and has many features over Microsoft Notepad. Visual Studio Code is an alternative in that it is full-featured and will edit text files but is slower at startup. I prefer the macro feature in TextPad due to its simplicity.

    Return on Investment

    • This editor certainly saves time in reducing my need to know and/or check coding minutiae.

    • Made my job easier, so I would say it had a positive return on investment. Especially for it's overall low cost.
