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.Incentivized
I would recommend Vim in any scenario where text files have to be viewed, created, or edited on GNU/Linux computers. Regardless if you need to quickly change a few things in a configuration file, or you need to write up a full document, Vim is great. I wouldn't use Vim to view, edit, or create anything that requires "rich-text". In other words, if you need to format the text (bolding, font colours, word-art, etc), then Vim isn't the tool to use.Incentivized
Search and replace in files that are not openCut and paste columns - I don't know any other program that can do this!Is a super fast and powerful text editor.Incentivized
The efficient modal editing makes it very fast to write/edit code as I think of it.The customization and wide range of plugins let me do very specific things and automate parts of my workflow.The fact that it runs inside a terminal simplifies my window management and just becomes another Tmux window in my workflow.Incentivized
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.Incentivized
Without a doubt the hardest program to learn. It is a completely different paradigm of thinking compared to other editorsBy default it doesn't have lots of fancy features you would find in larger IDE programs like code completion and linkingIt lives in the command line so a user has to be comfortable with this interfaceIncentivized
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.Incentivized
I don't consider the steep learning curve to be a hinderance on the overall usability. I would rate this a ten, but to be honest a lot of people do get hung up at the beginning and just abandon it. However, for people who have made the moderate effort to get over the hump, nothing can be more usable.Incentivized
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.Incentivized
There is no commercial support for Vim. Thus, it will not get a mark beyond 5. However, community support is very good. You can easily find solutions for most of the problems in the community.Incentivized
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.Incentivized
Vim's keybindings are a lot more complex than Notepad++. With that, comes a whole bunch of capability that Notepad++ just can't match. Emacs is comparable, in terms of capabilities--because Vim is built into so many unix systems, I chose to learn it instead of Emacs. Knowing both probably isn't a bad idea, but there's enough to learn in either camp to keep you busy Incentivized
Its ease of use and functionality make it fast and reliable which saves my designers time.Its simplicity makes it fast and easy to train new users.UE's guidance features make it a great tool with a good ROI.Incentivized
It always increases productivity.Sometimes feature discovery is not easy. It could be documented well like how to install a plugin and if it supported well or not.Incentivized
