Pros
From dead simple to seriously complex text / code / files management... the buck stops here. Been using this for so many years I cannot remember. I have tried almost everything (obsessively). Amoung Vim, UltraEdit, Zeus and some others that I am always using, I mostly rely on this for the daily grind.
Just to mention, probably not a lot of reviews here because serious coders don't typically pick up much (in this ilk) here at Cnet, but rather go straight to the source. While passing through I thought I'd leave a note in consideraton for my gratitude for this superior product (for many many years now), and to let others at any level know to definitely try this if you are looking for a better text editor. Good for users at any level.
Cons
There are no cons -this has years under its belt, and works flawlessly, period.

Pros
It has done everything I've asked of it and never failed. I've had many editors in the past 50 years and this is as good as the best of them.
Cons
Nothing serious. I'm just not too into regular expressions.
Summary
What more can I say? For anyone who can stand the complexity this is the editor of choice.

On the menu bar for EditPad Pro, you can click on Convert options to convert line breaks to word wrapping (at a designated point) and word wrapping to line breaks (to help mail software that doesn't handle long lines well).
There are many other options there too.
I don't like the gmail long lines display on some computers, so I can convert them to word wrap and then to forced line breaks.
I use server unix mail half the time so I like the 72-character line. And this makes a long, and long-line note much easier to read on almost anything.
Pros
Has special features for programmers, such as custom colors and formatting for most languages, but still is far better than notepad for simple text files. Powerful search and replace functions.
Cons
Takes a bit of learning to be get used to the program, but is well worth it.

Pros
Will READ .dat Files (only product I've found that will actually do this)
Cons
There is nothing I don't like about this product.
Summary
Ever get a "Returned" e-mail from the Postmaster? They are very annoying. What even worse is that they arrive with .dat file attachments. None of the software that comes with Windows will read these files. EditPad Pro is the only software that will read these files.

Pros
love the CTRL+E browser preview when you are coding or scripting hmtl files.
The open all files in folder is great, when you need to update a piece of code site round and still want to go for a pint in the evening!
Cons
The code highlighting could be improved though!! Doesn't beat Notepad++ which is freeware!!!
