"A useful option for simple writing and editing tasks"
What do you like best about PolyEdit?

For rapid text creation and initial proofreading, PolyEdit is fast, unobtrusive, and does not overload the user interface. I consider it a good tool for writing emails and taking notes during meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PolyEdit?

I also found that PolyEdit does not have any actual collaboration tools. This disqualifies it for projects where there is work that must be done in cooperation on just one document. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A text editor to add functionality and improvements to the code of your applications"
What do you like best about PolyEdit?

PolyEdit has very favorable features such as its support for different languages, frames and environments. It should be noted that plugins can be installed without additional costs such as lineEdit. I am also surprised by its text protection option, which allows it to be possible to copy the content of my lines of code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PolyEdit?

The user interface can be a bit confusing. In my opinion, I have found it difficult to remember the position of some commands on the menu. In addition, you should install certain add-ons to the program when installed to take full advantage of its features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A software to start web projects with full guarantee"
What do you like best about PolyEdit?

PolyEdit is an easy editor to edit, delete or open large files. It has a simple interface with many features, with a design similar to Notepad ++. The advantages of this editor are the compatibility with different programming languages and their search functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PolyEdit?

I believe that this editor should implement a code preview window to be able to notice the changes while programming. The autoformat function can also be a bit confusing, because there is no material online to install it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A compact text editor and different configuration options  "
What do you like best about PolyEdit?

PolyEdit has a wide variety of functions to customize my experience as a developer. What I like most about this editor is that it has simplicity in its interface and fast file loading times. I also like the enumeration of lines, which allows me to maintain full control of the code to correct errors or quickly find variables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PolyEdit?

It has not allowed me to export the code to HTML and PDF, because it throws an "empty file" error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A simple and reliable text editor for different purposes"
What do you like best about PolyEdit?

PolyEdit is an editor compatible with several types of character encoding. This software has exceptional functions for word replacement and search. It is also compatible with programming languages. It has the ability to add add-ons and has a toolbar with excellent editing features such as OEM to ANSI conversion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PolyEdit?

PolyEdit lacks highlight in the syntax and the interface is very Microsoft Office style. In addition, it does not provide the functionality of an IDE with functions such as autocomplete or debuggers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A solid lightweight option for writers and editors"
What do you like best about PolyEdit?

PolyEdit is a simple and straightforward rich text editor and word processor. It has all the main features you would expect to get the job done. It's not bloated like Microsoft Word and it's very snappy. Unlike the page layout mentality of something like Word, PolyEdit focuses on the text itself. It's designed with writing and editing in mind.

Because of its slim and focused nature, PolyEdit is very easy to pick up and use. It will be very familiar to users of Microsoft Word, but even if you've never touched a word processor before, it shouldn't take long to start using everything in PolyEdit that you need.

Outside of the basics like font style, alignment, color, and lists that Word or Google Docs offers you, PolyEdit does have a few unique features. It has a tabbed interface so you can quickly and easily switch between working documents on the fly. It includes some great tools to work with text, including sorting, snippets, and a built-in clipboard manager. It also has a wide variety of plugins and additional tools available on the developer's site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PolyEdit?

PolyEdit hasn't been updated in a long time, and its design looks a bit dated. It still has all the features you need to get writing done, but it seems unlikely that any new features or fixes will be added in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
