"The best text editor and formatter"
What do you like best about Elvis Text Editor?

It has all the plugins to be a code editing tool also. Along with that, it has all the features of the legacy Vi text editor, which gives a premium feel while using it. The simple interface facility keeps tasks easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elvis Text Editor?

Elvis text editor do supports most of programming languages, but when it comes to autogenerating the syntax, this tool it lacks it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple tool, simple tasks, yet extremely lightweight."
What do you like best about Elvis Text Editor?

Elvis Text Editor has a really simple UI, a VIM-like shortcut scheme and it's super lightweight. Note taking and plain text editing is easily done with this application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elvis Text Editor?

Text editor background colors can be a pain to change since it doesn't really gives you the chance to tweak it to any color, you'll have to change it to a set of preset colors and most of them are an eye sore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Elvis text editor is a useful, simple text editor"
What do you like best about Elvis Text Editor?

I appreciate the intuitive text highlighting that Elvis provides, as well as its ability to handle many file formats. I do a fair amount of programming in R, and Elvis is a great editor for writing scripts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elvis Text Editor?

Like all text editors, Elvis can be difficult to see in low-light environments, and a simple text format can be both pleasant and unpleasant, depending on the day! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple yet powerful Text Editor"
What do you like best about Elvis Text Editor?

Vim-like editors are the best, Elvis Text Editor is even compatible with my personal pc running Windows 10, no crash at the moment and really handy to write simple text, blog posts and taking notes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elvis Text Editor?

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.

"Funny name, not so funny tool."
What do you like best about Elvis Text Editor?

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.

What do you dislike about Elvis Text Editor?

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.

"Vi Graphical text editor with a twist!"
What do you like best about Elvis Text Editor?

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.

What do you dislike about Elvis Text Editor?

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.

"Powerful editor went wrong."
What do you like best about Elvis Text Editor?

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.

What do you dislike about Elvis Text Editor?

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.

Backgrounds colors can be an eye sore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Nice and easy Javascript Code Editor"
What do you like best about Elvis Text 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.

What do you dislike about Elvis Text Editor?

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

- I haven't been able to modify HTML files in it yet, they will be opened as text files and the editor will "run" the file and render the html without styles into the editor making it weird looking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Funny name, powerful tool."
What do you like best about Elvis Text Editor?

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.

What do you dislike about Elvis Text Editor?

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.

"Amazing tool, great name"
What do you like best about Elvis Text Editor?

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.

What do you dislike about Elvis Text Editor?

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.
