"Really fun text editor to play with"

5/5

What do you like best about Tex-Edit Plus?

ASCII art, line, and content randomization, background and font customization. Sometimes work can get very stressing, this is the kind of program you use to relax after coding for a few hours and finding that the mistake was a missing ; The price of the license is worth less than 4 cups of coffee. I even buy a copy for a friend so we can mess with the ASCII art feature and relax from developing for a while. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Improved notepad for windows "

4.5/5

"The best text editor"

4/5

What do you like best about Tex-Edit Plus?

I like that the editor is very lightweight and doesn't consume many resources. Additionally, it is very easy to use from the get-go. There is no configuration required out of the box, which means there is no learning curve. I prefer this over a typical vim editor as it allows one to bold and underline and do other basic editing tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tex-Edit Plus?

Working with scripts in Text Edit Plus requires a bit of getting used to what commands Text Edit will understand and implement, but once you adjust to what you can and cannot do with scripts, the program is easy to use quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Tex-Edit Plus:

If you find that you are not using the more complicated features in MS Word or Pages, but standard text editing is too simple for your needs, try using Text Edit Plus to fill the gap in the middle of those software pieces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tex-Edit Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Text Edit Plus saved us money because we didn't need the full set of MS Word functionalities, and now we don't have to worry about paying for MS Office upgrades or subscriptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Keep your eyes and ears open. Often times we will only consider the incumbents. They are a worthy competitor to notepad and Microsoft word with a great price to boot! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Essentially note taking is a breeze with this tool. I will use this tool to collect my thoughts. It doesn't crash like word does so this is the most reliable text editor that I use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
