Version: SlickEdit 2008 12.0.3
"Simple or as complex as you will ever need"
Pros: I have used this as a student and as a professional. It is extremely useful tool. I cringed at previous published reviews that call this a complex piece of software. It is fully customizable. Covers all languages I use (nothing obscure). The menu driven systems are full of features. I use many of them but certainly not all of them. Worth every penny of the cost. The real value is realized in not using a new proprietary editor. Works extremely well with GNU compilers and tag files are updated very easily.
Was shocked to see that I was actually supported. Wiki page on editor comparisons will shed light on what else might work but I wouldn't switch at this point
Cons: Version 12 release users should install 12.03 patch immediately. I found a few flaky functioning disappeared afterwards.

Version: SlickEdit 2008 11
Pros: I've been a user since SEv8. It's a great IDE. Even though they've added tons of features over the years, they continue to put a premium on performance. Features like the code templates let me focus on the "real" problems. I like the new regEx evaluator. DiffZilla gets a workout all the time. I code faster with slickedit.

Version: SlickEdit 2008 11
Pros: In my opinion this is the best editor in the world. Must have! The best autocompletion I saw!
Cons: For slickedit team: please add Lisp\Schecme support. I have found minimal flaws with javascript editing.

Version: SlickEdit 2008 10.0.2
"FAST, Functional, Useful, Feature Rich"
Pros: I love SlickEdit. I have been using it for years. I originally got it for the brief emulation. Now, I use it at the core of my web development environtment. This is an source code editor, and build environment, not a WYSIWYG editor. Features included are to numerous to list, but a few of my favorites are:
1) super fast load time
2) tagging (support for autocomplete and java docs as you code)
3) built in FTP client
4) simple and intuitive look and feel.
5) truely multi-language multi-platform.
6) does not force u into its concept of an environment or deployment methodology. U set it up the way U want it to work.
Cons: Lagging tools like MyEclipse for support of things like:
1) lack built in struts config file generation.
2) lack of convenience utilities like generation of setters and getters for beans.
3) lack of SQL/Database browser and schema generator.

Version: SlickEdit 2008 11
"SlickEdit 11 is simply the most complete system in the industry."
Pros: I am very impressed with SE-11 system for a number of reasons, especially after using the competition's product in the past. SlickEdit 11 provides the most efficient, comprehensive, customizable,and user-friendly system on the market. I encourage everyone to check out their website, and look over the "Cool Features" section in the product description. Highly recommended!
