- The "Compare Text Files" could be streamlined to compare text in 2 tabs without going through the save steps.
- TextPad is reasonably priced.
- The pricing/licensing model is fixed and is not subscription-based.
- Microsoft Visual Studio Code and Notepad++
Textpad: Simple but Powerful
- Quick to load.
- Very fast searching algorithm for finding and replacing text.
- Macros are very useful.
- Some of the look and feel is a bit dated, but that's not what one would normally use this program for anyway.
- Made my job easier, so I would say it had a positive return on investment. Especially for it's overall low cost.
