CNET Editors' review
This program was designed as a quick file editor for programmers, but works well as a small text editor for all users. The interface resembles Wordpad with a few additional function icons and menus. Editor2's programming roots are evident in functions including line and column indicators, indentation control, brace and bracket matching, and hexadecimal viewing. Other users will appreciate the program's small size and memory load. The single executable file isn't installed in Windows and multiple files can be opened concurrently. The program also works well as a small HTML editor with advanced features including auto-text replace, view contents in browser, and search-and-replace history. Editor2 is a powerful text editor suitable for any user, but many of its functions may be of no interest to novices looking to type quick notes. However, its small size and portability make it a good tool for all users.Publisher's Description
From ZavaraKatranemia:
Editor is a really small Notepad replacement, yet packed with useful features for productive everyday use. Both ANSI/UNIX and Unicode text files are supported. It features powerful search-and-replace commands, Hex and RTF viewer, dual font/color selection, URL autodetection, lots of keyboard shortcuts, plus loads of handy bits for programmers (brace matching, autoIndent). The unique AutoText feature makes inserting HTML open/closing tags a breeze. Editor is one of the richest feature-to-size packages in its class.
Version 2.5 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

Summary
this editor is nothing fancy.. better alternatives can be found

"Downloaded because of hex editing"
Version: Editor2 2.5
Pros
Other than hex editing.
Cons
With a text file open, hex editing was not enabled. No good to me.
Summary
Can't use it. Found CFF Explorer to be OK.
-
"OK."
Version: Editor2 2.5
Cons
More for programmers, too much for ordinary editor. Wordpad is more appropriate for a small advanced editor.
-

"Just a bunch of buttons and very few features."
Version: Editor2 2.5
Pros
Bookmarks.
Cons
The program is based on newest Richedit and requires it. It has only a few features extra than standard Wordpad, or other Wordpad/Notepad replacements.
-
"I very highly recommend you replace Notepad with this!"
Version: Editor2 2.5
Pros
Shortcut buttons, small, and can has more legal charecters than Notepad.
-
"You will love it!"
Version: Editor2 2.5
Pros
I've got my background set at Green and foreground Cyan.
Really cuts out the confusion if you are working between another open Notepad file.
Cons
Similar to WordPad as the caret does not return home (get used to it)
-
"It's so perfect! It runs over notepad on the floor!"
Version: Editor2 2.5
Summary
It's so great! It's simple and easy to use, and it's a WHOLE lot better than notepad! It doesn't even take a quarter of a mega-byte! It's the greatest!

"The smallest and fastest Notepad replacement"
Version: Editor2 2.5
Summary
At just under 100k, It has to be the smallest notepad replacement software. It might be small in size, but not in features. It can handle large files, and offers extensive keyboard shortcuts. To close the application, simply hit the "Escape" key. To change fonts, hit Alt + 1, 2. It's right up there with my other favorite, Metapad.
