"Good Code Editor"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Codelobster?

II like how it does PHP, JavaScript, CSS, etc highlighting right out of the box. I like the different themes so depending on the place I'm at, I can change how it looks to make it easier to see with just a few clicks. Being able to pair this with Filezilla and locally editing individual files is awesome. I love how it will automatically put the ending curly bracket when you put down an opening one.

We do Joomla development and we have used the Joomla plugin to create the skeleton of Joomla components and Modules in the past and the skeletons are pretty useful for people starting out in creating custom Joomla extensions from scratch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codelobster?

Every time I upgrade (install a new version), all my settings get reset and I have to go in and re-set everything back up. This includes any custom theme colors, tool bars, panel positions, closed panels, etc. Basically it resets all the settings every time you upgrade to a new version.

The only recognition for Joomla calls is if you are in a Joomla Project created inside the premium plugin. I'd like to be able to add include paths or reference paths in general to make it easy to work on multiple sites easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Codelobster:

Play with the free version and Trial before you buy. The free version has a lot to offer right out of box. But if you develop for some of the platforms they have premium plugins for, give them a try as they can save you some time starting out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Codelobster solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps us not make careless errors like missing a semicolon on the end of a statement or a missing bracket. inside the same file, it helps us make sure the variable is spelled correctly and has the proper case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Be aware that the free version comes with a Pro version trial. Unless you intend to subscribe to the Pro version in the future, don't develop your applications with the special framework plugins because you'll lose the ability to use those tools after the trial expires.

What problems is Codelobster solving and how is that benefiting you?

Used in the rapid development of intranet applications at work. Even the free version of the software outdoes Dreamweaver as an IDE in syntax highlighting, ease of use, CPU/memory usage and features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Codelobster supports major Frameworks for development"

4/5

What do you like best about Codelobster?

Very much lightweight, easy to setup, easy to use. Supports my favorite frameworks which i work all the times. Price is very much lower than other IDE softwares. Support multiple payment method via AvanGate. Support all the major Windows OS. Giving free Life Time Update facility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codelobster?

Free version does not have all the features. If you want all the features, you will have to order for Professional version that supports all the features what they written in their website. Free version has very much limited availability.

But for advanced developers, you will agree to purchase Professional version as because you wanted do some real time works.

Their user interface is very much normal. Would like to see advance development and better UI design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Codelobster:

They have lightweight and speed fast IDE which supports HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL facilities with Version controlling and FTP features. Also have popular framework supports which will give you snippets to work more fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Codelobster solving and how is that benefiting you?

They are best in their place as because they supports web development features with extra framework plugin like, Laravel, Yii, CakePHP, CodeIgniter, WordPress, Drupal, jQuery etc. This is the one tool that supports all the things.

By using this tools, they are very much lightweight. Speed, Reliable, Fast and good debugging facility. Although support version controlling system and FTP access as well.

I am not very much familiar with SASS and LESS but this software do support these kind of Cascading Style Sheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
