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. ### 2. 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 **What do you dislike about Smultron?** The interface is clean, but definitely outdated.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?filters%5Bnps_score%5D%5B%5D=4§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-08-14+05%3A46%3A09+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=f82f6d78-7e9c-43eb-bf39-48fde227aa0a&secure%5Btoken%5D=caa6741e28c777db31c7378ff728b15f7474a66bf8a225589da8a8b76261bb47&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 (2,413 reviews) - [Visual Studio Code](https://www.g2.com/products/visual-studio-code/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (2,658 reviews) - [Sublime Text](https://www.g2.com/products/sublime-text/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (1,749 reviews)
