Overall Satisfaction with UltraEdit
Ultra edit is being used mostly by developers here. It has color coding for a lot of programming languages. This makes it very versatile. It is really a developer tool and can't be judged by the business problems it solves. It makes writing code and formatting in text files easier. It's a big time saver.
- The column mode is one of the best features. I use it all the time. It allows me to work on a specific row position across multiple lines (ex: insert text, number sequence). This is a big time saver.
- Macro recording is very convenient for redundant tasks inside a text file. You can just hit record, do the steps manually once and then stop and playback.
- You have base file compare functionality available with the software (you must buy their compare product if you want the full thing).
- Sorting available with the option of removing duplicates.
- 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.
- Tough to measure. UltraEdit will make users more efficient and quick. The ROI is in the time saved by these programmers.
- Notepad++
Notepad++ does have a lot of the base features of Ultraedit.
However, Ultraedit brings a lot more to the table and the corporate licence makes it interesting for large companies.
I would still advise small companies to look at it as they can get units for a reasonable price.
