gedit Reviews & Product Details

As described in the title, it is the default text editor used in ubuntu. For me, it is one of the very best, as it is flexible with many features and highly customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It doesn't support any plugin platforms, to make it more customizable, such as adding terminals and integrated compilers. It is still quite slow when loading large text files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Best text editor for any user more helpful for beginner. No need to install it seprately as it comes inbuilt with ubuntu operating system. Many syntax higlighting, indentation formatting etc...are good to use which is free of cost. Cool user interface is an advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not available for windows operating system. UI doesnt change which is same from when i installed my OS. No other comments on gedit as it is the best editor for anyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few positive things I can say about gedit. It's available as part of GNOME and set as the default text editor, so chances are you will run into using it as some point or another. It is also simple and fairly easy to use. gedit also supports syntax highlighting and customizable indentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I found gedit to be far too simple and have strange default options. I can't exactly explain why, but it also doesn't look very polished, possibly due to the default font/background color options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a very good text editor. When writing a source code, it colours and highlights your text according to the language you code in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unlike other UNIX text editors(emacs), it does not contain a "console" for compiling and running the code right there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
