• Nice but way too Expensive!!!

  ROdearApril 23, 2012

  Pros

  Good tagging. Good controls. Good configuration. Good features.

  Cons

  Way way way too expensive. Poor support. Poor customer care.

  Summary

  I had a personal license for Linux that I used for work. When my Linux machine died I wanted to move to Mac. All I wanted was to convert my Linux license to a Mac license. NOT possible. They wanted to charge me an extra $150 just to convert. I even have the maintenance program which itself costs money. In fact, if I switched over to Mac, for my 1 license, they were going to charge me for a totally new maintenance fee! I also had an issue once where a certain html tag wasn't recognized by SlickEdit. Tried to get support...nothing was done. I won't pay these crooks again.

• Simple or as complex as you will ever need

  chiggers70March 20, 2008

  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.<p>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.

• SlickEdit 11 is simply the most complete system in the industry.

  TennToothDocJune 30, 2006

  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!

• v11 continues to impress!

  davidvthokieJune 15, 2006

  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.

• best editor

  boosurferJune 5, 2006

  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.

• FAST, Functional, Useful, Feature Rich

  ITVGuy2000November 2, 2005

  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: <p>1) super fast load time <p>2) tagging (support for autocomplete and java docs as you code) <p>3) built in FTP client <p>4) simple and intuitive look and feel. <p>5) truely multi-language multi-platform. <p>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: <p>1) lack built in struts config file generation. <p>2) lack of convenience utilities like generation of setters and getters for beans. <p>3) lack of SQL/Database browser and schema generator.
