SlickEdit Reviews & Product Details

Certain features can be very useful, like setting up multiple cursors to make a change in multiple spots. The tool is great for automating development tasks and simplifying file editing. There is also a great variety of macros that people have built that further enhances the editor. You can also build your own macros using the recording feature and then you can look at the code that is generated and from there you can further enhance it or polish the process you want to automate.

Not a whole lot of support from companies that I have worked for. They don't see the value in it. Macros are built using the SlickC language which is counter-intuitive and doesn't have a lot of support compared to scripting languages like Python or Ruby. It can, therefore, be very difficult to create certain customizations/macros. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked the most customization feature which enables integration with any application on the fly. you can easily integrate with GitHub or another repository. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

its a bit costly, during the time of opensource developers having other options available Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Code navigation and

multilanguage support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Almost too much configurability available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This text editor has excellent script functions. Another positive feature of SlickEdit is that it can be configured to integrate with MySQL. Also very important are customization options, which allow you to change from the theme of the interface to the colors that will be highlighted in the code syntax. In addition, the application is updated frequently, so you will always be at the forefront of the world of programming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't find negatives about SlickEdit. In my opinion, after each update the software surprises with increasingly powerful and easy-to-use features. This tool can be used for years without problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The two things I like most about code editing are the ability to configure an entire project and how easy it is to search code and navigate to areas of interest - to be able to select records with precision. Ease of use. The startup time is also decent, so we don't have to waste time waiting for the editor to be fully loaded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The auto-completion can be improved, but it's okay - sometimes, though rarely, it closes abruptly, but it happens when I open a new file. One thing I don't like very much is when I put my machine in sleep mode and resume, Slickedit will ask for the license and if any file is open through network sharing and the network location is inaccessible, it would make me close them or keep them open, but show them as unsaved. It didn't adapt to my use, but it might work very well for others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s straightforward. There is nothing I don’t understand about this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are too many buttons. There should be a better organization of keys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That it has brief emulation. Though it is not perfect, it can be programmed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a bit of a pain to work with other tools to share the project/build management when you go between debugging and programming/editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It supports a lot of languages and the loading speed is decent even on large projects. I like the group support in the GUI to make manage project much easier. It supports over 90 different languages and over 9 platforms. Start up time is decent as well so we don't have to waste time waiting for the edit to fully loaded.

It has a lot of features but the it requires some learning curve before a new user can start to use it. Sometimes when a new language is supported, it might be buggy and it takes a while to figure out the problem and contact SlickEdit to fix it because of the complexity. Setting up different version control tools to work with SlickEdit might be a little difficult depending on how the two tools working together. GUI might look a bit different when there is a major version update and it requires user to re-learn the GUI, which might be time consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Slickedit is lightweight and loads in a hurry. I like the ease of customization and how I can integrate it with other applications (version control). Another plus is the compare tool which can compare whole folders as well as individual files. I like the small memory footprint and that it does not slow down my laptop.

One thing I don't like so much is when I put my machine on sleep and come back up, Slickedit will ask for the license and if any files were open through network share, and the network location was inaccessible, it would either make me close them or keep them open but show them as unsaved. I understand the reason but I wish there was a better solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use. As soon as I installed slickedit, it was intuitive to use after I went through the wizard/getting started at the beginning. additionally I found the menus very well laid out. The macros function allows you to automate repetitive processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

crashes. When I have too many files open it tends to get slow and crash. having to configure the app for each user can be very tedious. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
