gedit Reviews & Product Details

Fairly simple and easy for a beginner to use. When I started coding in college, this was the first editor we were introduced to.Because it was so simple to use , we didnt even take one lecture to get adapted to it.But later on as my coding skills got better I preferred sublime text as I found it easier and more pleasing to look at.

I wish there were more features and it was more aesthetically pleasing.I also genuinely wish there was more git support and colour themes to make the code more readable and easier to navigate and version control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's an easy to use editor that doesn't rely of tons of horrible key combos. Multi-document interface works well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lack of customization. Its so simple that it is restrictive to power users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is really easy to use for new user, Gedit is generalny preinstalled on any gnome based desktop so we dont need to do anyrhing to start using them. Other good thing is small size - it can run fast both on low end pc and high end desktop. Editor has also syntax highlighting so can be easly used to programmig small applications. Plugin system is great, user can extend function of editor whenever he want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its not good for huge projects, its hard to manage a lots of files and folders. Out of box its not integrated with Git system ad doesnt have file list toolbar. Opening huge files can is impossible because editor is trying to load everyrhing into RAM(vim can load it without any problems even on low spec pcs). Its also generating trash files with tilde at the ends, user have to add entry to gitignore or disable it in settings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
