It shouldn't be seen as something i dislike, but it hasn't been updated since 2012. If some vulnerability comes up, we will be in some serious problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Considering it hasn't received an update in some months, it's still a great text editing tool. You can edit plain text and JavaScript with it, but when it comes to HTML, you might find yourself with a not so handy tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you Open a HTML file, the editor will try to render it and show it in a WYSIWYG kind of editor. Not too functional for HTML editing. If you want to use it to edit the file, you'll have to copy the source code from another editor or the browser and paste it into Elvis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although i don't like Vi that much, Elvis Text Editor brings it to Windows with a nicer name, icon and graphical interface. I'm not a Vi master yet, but every time i want to get some practice of Vi usage, i use this tool. Super lightweight and portable with a flash drive. I find myself using it to do minor edits to JavaScript source files and find it comfortable enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Theme editing is sort of weird working. It should have more pleasant color presets, instead of those eye hurting ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VIM-ish kind of editor. If you're a VI wizard, you will find this editor as a nice alternative to other code editors, if you're into specific files modifications and you want a light tool to get it done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has some serious issues with HTML code editing. It will let you the source code as WYSIWYG, which isn't what you'd expect from a VIM kind of editor.

- Vim based editor, if you're a Vi "Wizard" you will find this tool really handy and powerful in your hands.

- Low Consumption while working in big files.

- Nice twist with the Elvis' Name. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Simple color themes, there are some presets that will burn your eye's retinas if you use them.

As much as people might hate it, Vim is a must if you're a programmer who edits code on a daily basis. I liked the name they used on this tool and the tool itself as a Linux user, i get to edit code in a console a lot of times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you don't pay enough attention to what you do, you might end up messing up your whole editing experience. The GUI isn't as user-friendly as it should. Also you can't edit color schemes, you have to deal with those eye sore colors, or keep it with its gray default color. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of my coworkers have been using this work months. I started using it last couple weeks and it's been awesome. Having a VIM with GUI running on Windows is something I've been looking for. Modifying Java SRC files and simple txt files is plain and simple with this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wish it had a Folder Tree view to browse projects easily, and better syntax highlighting colors. They're pretty harsh to the sight, they can give you a headache in minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
