It's lightweight for faster editing of webpages with no struggle at all with ease of file and replace to updates the pages. I like it for note taking for my meetings. Reliable with support of many programming languages for handling of multiple projects at once. Great with handling very large files with ease. Free and ease of use.

"TextPad - A Powerful Text Editor"
What do you like best about TextPad?

TextPad is one such tool which is mainly associated with text editing. It is used for editing large text files and working with them as it offers great performance and is very light. We can open large text files instantly with TextPad. The thing that I like the most about TextPad is the feature for Syntax highlighting when working with any programing language and its search and replace functionality which is very helpful while debugging application logs. Wrapping of logs is done nicely which is not the case with other editors. It can also be easily integrated with other tools like compilers, debug tools etc. I frequently use it when I need to work with logs or large text files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TextPad?

Though TextPad is an useful tool for working with text file but there are some cons of ot too like it doesn't offer the functionality yet which we get with certain IDEs like Eclipse and IntelliJ. It's UI seems to be king of very old and outdated. Also, it doesn't offers free service which we can use for our personal use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the best text editor for large files on Windows OS!!"
What do you like best about TextPad?

The best thing about Textpad is that it is able to process very large-sized log files which I frequently use while working on Java application products. As compared to other text editors like notepad++, it is very stable and rarely crashes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TextPad?

Textpad is only available on the Windows platform which limits the scope of use. It would be really nice to see a Mac-Os and Linux version of this editor. Also, an improvement on the dark mode will be appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
