Excellent editor for block select cut-and-paste but price too high - Version: 13.20a, 2/14/2008 12:00AM PST

This is the text/html editing tool for Windows -- much happier with it than others. Most of the features I love and depend upon for editing in BBEdit <http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/603> are available here. If I wasn't able to use a Mac, this would be my editing tool of choice.

UltraEdit is by far the most powerful and flexible text/hex editor on the market today — NO OTHER TEXT EDITOR EVEN COMES CLOSE TO ITS FEATURE SET, PERIOD. If you're happy with freeware text editors compared to UltraEdit, then I'm betting you're happy driving your 1979 Ford Pinto, too; meaning you don't really understand what a powerful text editor can do, children should stick with Notepad and its freeware/OS equivalents. UltraEdit is so useful that it stays open on my desktop all day. It's extremely fast, and once customized, just a lot of fun. With fully customizable menus, toolbars, keyboard shortcuts, help files, it also includes a tabbed Explorer, Project, and Open files. Built-in file compare, advanced macro creation ability, CSS Style Builder, movable document tabs, FTP, and fully collapsible code folding for any function or structure make this version a standard that will not soon be surpassed. When creating or opening files without a temp file in the buffer, users can easily create and open files well in excess of 4Gb — I opened and scrolled to the bottom of a 4.25Gb file instantaneously! Why would I need that? I work with database and CSV files many of which start at over 2Gb in size. I dare you to try to open anything larger than a 50Mb file on other text editors without them choking. I then significantly altered the file and saved the changes, and that took less than seven seconds. That's real power, not marketing hype. UltraEdit comes with a lifetime licensing option (for little more than twice the price) and is great for everything from simple text to XML/HTML/CSS creation to format stripping. Its text editing features are so robust that I personally know of more than twenty published authors who now use UltraEdit with which to write their works — it truly clears away all the formatting and layout clutter and allows writers to set up the program however they wish, and just write. Thus, UltraEdit is the Photoshop of text editors. Only EmEditor is close, but IF AND ONLY IF you don't need UltraEdit's broad feature set or its deep text editing features. Finally, IDM listens to its users and responds to their needs with updates and through carefully planned upgrades, and the program is consistently updated for bugs and improvements.

For programming Notepad++ is even much better than Ultraedit.
The only advantage of Ultraedit is its high speed when doing block select cut-and-paste operations in large text files.
