Marketing Executive Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/26/2019 "Text Editor, It works , but need more tools." 2.5/5 What do you like best about Leafpad? I like it because its easy to open and use, it don't need that much system memory to work , which is really good. It has basic functionalities that we get in other text editors , we get find and replace option, line numbering, and a jump to line option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Leafpad? Leafpad does not have lots of features like multiple tabs option or changing the colour of the fonts and background. and its user interface is very simple and sometimes that is also a con of Leafpad. because the user interface looks really old when it compares to other text editors. There is no option to update the Leafpad from the Leafpad menu. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Leafpad: You can use it to edit text files, there is nothing exciting about this editor. You can install it on your Linux PC. It works fine without any errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Leafpad solving and how is that benefiting you? Taking notes were easy, there is nothing interesting about it, but it gets the job done. I used it on my Laptop to edit text files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
