    EditPlus (ES-Software)
    Edit+ is well suited for basic tasks like using it as a to-do list or writing basic scripts or using it for simple programs that aren't too long or complex.

    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.

    • 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.

    Not well supported, lacks functionality other editors have.

    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.

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