    "Excellent editor!"

    October 28, 2011  |   By garrisonaw

    Pros

    Tray icon with option to start minimized to tray
    Syntax hi-lighting and other options customizable per file type
    Search/Replace with most recent search and replacement text lists
    Recently used file list
    Open multiple files in tabs
    Ability to append an existing file to the current text, or append the current text to an existing file
    Ability to change case
    Customizable layouts can be saved
    Ability to trim leading and/or trailing spaces and/or blank lines

    The list could go on and on, but these are the ones I use regularly.

    Cons

    No software is perfect, but I haven't found any negatives yet.

    Summary

    I have been using EditPad since before 1999 (I still have version 3.4.0 in my software archives - it's dated 1/1/1999). In that time I have tried several other replacements for Notepad, just for the sake of comparison, and I have not found a better text editor anywhere. And considering it's free, it simply cannot be beat!
