It comes in a dark mode by default, so the readability of the text is a bit difficult Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I used Ultraedit to write HTML and Javascript codes. The syntax highlighting is great, and it supports various programming languages. Column editing mode and multiple cursor mode are one of the best features of UltraEdit. Best among a plethora of text editors available on MAC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Can't think of any. It takes time to load, but I believe it is due to my computer. Other than that, I have never experienced any issues with UltraEdit.It is highly customizable, so there are no problems with that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Overall, UltraEdit provides the level of editing power that professional programmers, web developers, and other technical users need, but they make that power very accessible.
* It's as good for editing source code as it is for editing text data files (including CSV).
* You can specify almost any common programming language; UltraEdit understands that language's syntax for code formatting and identifying functions, procedures, etc. You can also extend this feature as needed.
* It includes tools for formatting and editing CSS, JSON and HTML.
* UltraEdit performs very well when you're working with huge data files, it's very speedy!
* This editor NEVER crashes, even when doing global search/replace on big files.
Notes:
* I've only used the Windows version of UltraEdit, though they have Mac and Linus versions.
* I've used UltraEdit for over 20 years and regularly recommend it to team-mates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While they've made accessing settings easier over the years, I wish they'd make it even easier to find and change settings. There are some customizations I only wish I could make, so it works like I want (e.g., Home key moves to column 1, not the first non-blank column). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Hello Stewart,
We're glad you are having a great experience using UltraEdit!
You mentioned wanting to have an easy way to search and customize a few settings— I'm delighted to inform you that UltraEdit has a specific feature that does exactly that!
The command palette provides a quick and easy way to find any feature or setting without diving into the menus.
You can access it by using the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + P , or by clicking its icon in the right of the ribbon bar menu, next to the help icon.
For example, you can change what the home page key does by searching for "home key" on the command palette. You can learn more using the link below.
Hope this helps!

Nothing. Each feature is well thought out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Everything: Performance, flexibility, customization. Most especially: macro support, ability to handle huge text files, hex view, fast search-and-replace, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One (very) minor complaint; the option to view the ASCII table used to be in a more prominent position in the menu structure, on the "View" tab, I think. Then, I believe, it was moved under "Font" or "Print" for a few releases, and now it's under Layout. Finding this quick reference tool is the only thing I remember ever going to the "Help" menu for. UE is that intuitive! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have been using UltraEdit since at least 1996. I had to go digging but found a support request to unlock my software for ver. 2.10. While I have used it mostly for coding, I've used it to clean up data for data transfers, recover files, troubleshoot file issues, compare files, search and replace in files, pretty much every major feature over the years. And yes, over the years I have periodically tried other editors and while they are generally good at one thing, they'll lack something like column mode, the ability to tile the windows or to do a search and replace over multiple files or something else I use often.

I really can't think of anything I dislike. I wish the FTP utility was a little more robust as I still really need/like a separate FTP software, but honestly, that's not really the function of an editor, just a personal wish. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Hi Miles-Kevin. Thank you for using UltraEdit through the years.
To your comment, UltraEdit also offers UltraFTP which is a standalone FTP client. However, it is built upon the same framework so it integrates seamlessly with the editor.
For example, you can share FTP accounts between UltraEdit and UltraFTP. Hopefully, with this suite of tools you can create a complete and integrated solution tailored to your needs.
See how UltraEdit improvedUltraEdit is the best suite to code and develop in different programming languages. The best is the window layout, where you can see all the files you are editing at a time. Plus, with multiline cursor you can select different lines at different positions with a single cursor. I can program in many languages such as C++, Python, XML, HTML, PHP, C, etc. It has also an embedded Hex editor that allows you to edit programs in hex mode. Moreover, it is being updated constantly giving me new features that I find very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Probably the thing that I dislike it is it becomes slow when you edit multiple files and I need to find words or expressions. Searching in files needs an improvement and it worked properly in the previous version. Probably it will be fixed in next updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the interface, as much as I use VSCode in the past I like this one better Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its overwhelming at first, a short but detailed tutorial on how things work might be useful (even though the interface is straightforward, but still for a better User experience) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Flexibility - ultraedit allows you to customize the software to meet your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish I had deeper integration with statistical software, such as SAS or Stata - even syntax highlighting continues to not work well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
