Eclipse is good for Java, Padre is focused on Perl, etc. I program in a number of different languages (Perl, C, Java, batch, makefile.) and work with a lot of different text formats (YAML, XML, TAP, custom.) IDEs tend to be focused on a single language/environment. However, wait a couple of years and I'll probably be demanding it, or something like it.įor me there are two main (and interrelated) drivers: flexibility and familiarity. So, yeah, an UltraEdit with full Cortana integration would be more ideal for me, but I'm asking too much for now. I rarely use mouse and keyboard these days, as most of my input is done by touch, gesture, glance, blink, and speech recognition, with speech recognition being one of my primary ways of working with my computer. One thing I would look forward to, however, is UltraEdit redone as a Windows 10 Universal App, so I can run it on my Laptop, Tablet, and Phone, and automatically sync between the 3, with a nice, modern Windows 10 touch interface. However, perhaps you're talking about UltraEdit for Linux? Is that the one you tried? Yeah, it's further behind the curve than the Windows version, but the Windows version is quite solid. UltraEdit has a modern interface, more so than many editors out there. I started programming with punch cards in the 70's as well. if you don't give several days of delving into the depths of what all it can do, you just won't be able to understand why it is so powerful. One thing I've learned about UltraEdit and UEStudio. Apparently there are a lot of people that don't agree with your assessment. I see that JetBrains boasts over 75,000 customers. I use them because being the best text editor and best IDE for my work on various text files and my various developments. UEStudio is also highly customizable which is the reason why users created lots of configurations for various C/C++/C# compilers, assemblers, interpreters like PHP and Java, etc.īut UEStudio is an IDE not designed for 1 to 5 specific developments like for example Visual Studio. This does not make a difference on writing code in C/C++, but it makes a difference for example on debugging. For example C/C++ development can be done for Windows applications on x86 based architectures, but can be also for various controllers in embedded devices. However, if UEStudio is the right tool for you depends on what you are coding. It supports also debugging for some languages and architectures within UEStudio. It has intellisense for the supported programming languages offered via IntelliTips features for the user. UEStudio is a product of IDM which is UltraEdit with additional features to become an IDE for some programming languages. There is an auto-completion feature in UltraEdit, but it is language neutral. But UltraEdit has no built-in language intellisense. (Now I'm using UEStudio.) UltraEdit has features which usually only IDE have like customizable syntax highlighting and code folding. I have done this in the past also for some controllers. UltraEdit can be extended with customizations to an IDE like tool. Therefore many use UltraEdit although not being an IDE with customizations for coding in C/C++, too. UltraEdit is highly customizable and has lots of features to make writing text (including) code very efficient. UltraEdit is basically a general text editor. It is impossible to answer your question as we don't know what are your requirements on a text editor.įor example if you want to use UltraEdit mainly for coding C/C++ using projects and expect features that IDE (Integrated Development Environment) usually offer which are designed for writing code in specific supported programming languages, UltraEdit might not be the right choice. UltraEdit is for me the best general text editor.
