What do you dislike about SubEthaEdit?

There is literally no downside to this program. It's not overly complicated but is extremely powerful. It is a weird name but the tribute to Douglas Adams is worth it. For some purposes an iOs and iCloud aspect would be good, but not a deal breaker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SubEthaEdit solving and how is that benefiting you?

I constantly need a text editor for different tasks. With SubEthaEdit, I don't have to worry about constant paid updates. Through AppleScript and Javascript for Automation, it fits nicely in my workflow as an HTML editor, Javascript editor, and note taker. Besides a powerful search and replace, SubEthaEdit has an underlying regular expression engine, Oniguruma. The REGEX is very strong and a great appeal to those who do a lot of pattern matching find and replace, like I do. Also offered is a command like tool and full applescript. All this is available in a very clean and well-organized Macintosh interface style. I use a lot of different text editors but this one nestles nicely into that space between simple and IDE for many tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
