"A Pretty Great Software for Writing Code"
What do you like best about Bluefish?

The Bluefish software does have a lot of capabilities that other text editor software has. The software is available to everyone for free, too, which I thought was awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bluefish?

It can be very difficult to actually download and install. Also, I sometimes feel like the interface is really clunky and hard to navigate through. I would love an update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great web improvement service !!!"
What do you like best about Bluefish?

In our company, the entire team of programmers and web developers use this powerful editor, since it offers us many options to write and design websites, execute scripts and programming code that benefits us in all the tasks assigned to us. Bluefish has an interface that supports many programming and markup languages, which allows us to adapt the platform to any need. It is truly one of the most efficient open source development software on the market, which has met all expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bluefish?

When it comes to handling too many open text files in the various tabs that this software allows us to handle, it tends to hang a little or become slow, which is quite understandable, and this happens if you work with files that have more than 50 thousand lines. However, we pay close attention to this and handle the files that allow Bluefish to develop quickly, in order to use the functions it offers us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use Editor"
What do you like best about Bluefish?

Light weight, More support for Linux and open source applications and languages. Better documentations like wiki. webdev support. many language support it's. It is very light you can use on a PC without many requirements, Speed. faster opening and closing. less hardware requirement.

BlueFish is that it is a very stable and simple editor. This software has easy programming tools that allow you to edit text easily. It doesn't include about space in the hard hover of my machine. particularly fulfilled by utilizing it .I like it's spotless and decent interface. There aren't too many editing and design instruments, which makes it simple to follow and uncomplicated. the ability to edit HTML by hand versus, even those who have no knowledge of HTML, PHP, CSS, etc. I also came across the software ability to make and alter design projects. Good Product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Free Web Editor"
What do you like best about Bluefish?

Simplicity is what I like most about this program; it does what you expect and that's it, there aren't a lot of unnecessary features. Other noteworthy aspects are the code snippet library and the ability to customize your own quick bar with the buttons from other bars that you use the most. It is very easy to use and very fast, unlike other web editors that are often slow. This web editor supports many languages such as: html/xhtml, css, js, php, c++, java, ruby, xml, and the best part is that we can access it for free without any payment or surcharge. BlueFish is a cross-platform application that works on most operating systems, including Linux, FreeBSD, MacOS-X, Windows, Solaris, and OpenBSD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bluefish?

No negative point about this great tool since it helped me with everything I needed to finish and perfect my websites and even improve those of my family and friends' clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
