Highly effective as a personal writing aid **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Eduardo V. | Branding Assistant, Education Management, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 12, 2024 **What do you like best about Smultron?** I now use Smultron as my primary text editor for personal projects. The look and feel of the program is fresh, uncluttered, and slimmed-down for intensive writing sessions and finding files by color coding makes them easy to locate. **What do you dislike about Smultron?** There’s no options for working with others on a document and no way to control the number of versions of the document which makes it a bad tool when there are to be a few people working on a single text. **What problems is Smultron solving and how is that benefiting you?** Smultron provides a clean context in writing and coding. Color coding is very useful when it is necessary to distinguish some parts of the text because I am able to type commands in the editor without leaving the text editor application. ### 2. Automatic line numbering improve code readability and maintainability **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Danny A. | Treasury Analyst, Automotive, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 16, 2024 **What do you like best about Smultron?** I use Smultron for my personal coding projects since the text editor has an excellent feature of syntax highlighting for several languages, and the line numbering also occurs automatically. **What do you dislike about Smultron?** It does not have features like edit in-place or code revision control to allow featuring of a project from multiple developers. It means I have to use one tool for tracking multiple code versions and another for communication with my peers. **What problems is Smultron solving and how is that benefiting you?** Smultron allows the end user to write and edit code in a very light and effective manner. The absence of clutter on the home page is a good thing because any unnecessary information would prove to be disruptive. ### 3. gem for anyone who values attention **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Anitha P. | Chief Project Officer, Automotive, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 31, 2024 **What do you like best about Smultron?** Smultron has an elegant layout and does not have any additional programs or options that will interfere with coding. There are no flashy toolbars, or bothersome widgets; just lots of space to write my code and get it right. **What do you dislike about Smultron?** Smultron does not have some of the functionalities of heavier IDEs as seen in the comparison made above. For instance, code full completion and the tools for debugging must be also mentioned as a plus for working on large scale applications. **What problems is Smultron solving and how is that benefiting you?** This minimally invasive editor is ideal for brief coding purposes or for thinking of new concepts in detail. It starts up very quickly, and therefore I can start coding as soon as I open it without waiting for a big IDE to load. ### 4. Smultron- One stop text editor for all your needs **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ankit S. | Sailpoint Consultant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 11, 2024 **What do you like best about Smultron?** Sumltron is a game changer in text editing. Its ability to transform text is excellent. Also the user friendly interface is a key. **What do you dislike about Smultron?** None for now but will surely update if found **What problems is Smultron solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using Smultron for editing text of tranforming data also an alternative of note pad. ### 5. The Text Editor that can fit almost all of your needs into one **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nick M. | Graduate Research And Teaching Assistant, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 21, 2021 **What do you like best about Smultron?** One main thing that I like about this text editor is the ability to transform text quickly and easily. The interface is simple enough to accomplish any tasks that I have and to complete the process that I am working towards. Often text editors are either functional or good-looking, however, Smultron breaks the barrier in having both a beautified interface that isn't awful to look at for hours on end, while still keeping all the functionality that of which is to be desired. While I am used to my more simplistic editors having a free version, Smultron at $7.99 is still not a bad deal. It is well worth your time to at least try out the software if not buy it in the long term. **What do you dislike about Smultron?** This may just be my computer, but sometimes on the bootup process for Smultron it can be surprisingly slow. I have gotten to the point where I just leave it open so that whenever I go back to using it, it is just a quick file open instead of waiting for the program to load up and then opening the file. While this seems to be the case, my computer has issues with the speed with most other text editors so I cannot fully blame the software in this instance. Overall, there are not many other dislikes I can present here. **Recommendations to others considering Smultron:** I would recommend this software if you are looking for a text editor that can fit many needs for a low price. **What problems is Smultron solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am currently solving the problem of having a nice workable user interface text editor while coding. I have tried a multitude of text editors out there and just looking to find one that fits my desires. While Smultron is not perfect in features, there is little to dislike. ### 6. Great for editing code - links up with Cyberduck **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** John S. | Creative Director and Digital Marketer, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 15, 2016 **What do you like best about Smultron?** Ease of use - interface is very clean. I like how it syncs with Cyberduck and separates lines of code with color. **What do you dislike about Smultron?** The interface is clean, but definitely outdated. **Recommendations to others considering Smultron:** If you use Cyberduck, this is a great integration with it. Even though free, the software is extremely reliable. **What problems is Smultron solving and how is that benefiting you?** Writing / editing code - mainly Wordpress themes, header.php, CSS, and HTML. ## Smultron Discussions - [What is Smultron used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-smultron-used-for) - [View Smultron pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/smultron/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-15+18%3A05%3A48+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=57e3ecee-513d-4282-9d9a-b6e80fe29557&secure%5Btoken%5D=8ce68b3cb03af61b7904acc0b0ee2ad8478cf1e33b078f84885d8b18a3c718da&format=llm_user) ## Smultron Features **Coding** - Syntax highlighting - Autocompletion - Find and replace - Code folding **Editing** - Collaborative editing - Language Support - Selection Methods **Functionality** - Extensibility - Cross-platform support - Plugins and integrations - Security **Agentic AI - Landing Page Builders** - Cross-system Integration ## Top Smultron Alternatives - [Notepad++](https://www.g2.com/products/notepad/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (2,398 reviews) - [Visual Studio Code](https://www.g2.com/products/visual-studio-code/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (2,550 reviews) - [Sublime Text](https://www.g2.com/products/sublime-text/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (1,747 reviews)
