Wonderful - best editor for program & Web development
popnikolovApril 16, 2014
Pros
&#8226; Fast & Handy, could successfully be used as developer IDE; &#8226; Rich functionality; (multipurpose) &#8226; Extensible; (using clips & macros) &#8226; Excellent help and many built-in useful references; &#8226; In permanent development; (I used it since Y2006)
Cons
NO cons. Rem: Small defect - when using Object REXX - it could not input answers from the console.
Summary
Support for Progress 4GL / OpenEdge ABL!
WeeMadArthurApril 19, 2013
Pros
Very nearly everything you've come to expect in a "Programmer's" editor, for free Active, ongoing improvements by a development team who interact freely with users It's an absolute work-horse
Cons
The "IntelliSense" feature is a little quirky
Summary
Priced right, supports my obscure syntax requirements, extensible, and solid as a rock.
Best editor for web development
DiDanyManDecember 3, 2012
Pros
Great editor with lots of features and the ability to remotely edit or upload your files via ftp.
Cons
limited support for Unicode and character set conversion options
Summary
Lacks basic features
sprilJune 13, 2012
Pros
Within its limited realm the editor seems to get by.
Cons
- Prohibits users from selecting proportional fonts (is this editor stuck in 1960?) - Help is not installed in default download - Cumbersome custom plug-in configuration is required to edit ASP files
Summary
If you like the courier font and don't mind the broken help functions (or are willing to take the time to fix them), this could be the editor for you.
Several years of useful service
RJD185May 21, 2012
Pros
Full featured and extensible
Cons
Not the best for extremely large (multi-Gb) text files
Summary
Been using this for many years now and it is a good work horse option for anyone needing a Windows text editor with decent features. I'm not a power user, but I have used UltraEdit and Notepad++ in the past. I prefer PS Pad.
Great editor

n/a............
Summary
great notpad replacement
0nu11January 11, 2010
Pros
recognizes code, great find and replace feature - also lists each ocurance in a separate portion of the program below the text, stars tabs when need to save
Cons
no auto save - have to manual save like other programs, too many menus by default (but can change this option)
Summary
good program
Would be excellent except for word-wrap bug
rjtaggartJanuary 4, 2010
Pros
Good interface, easy to use, syntax highlighting for most languages, good ftp support.
Cons
Word-wrap bug often causes the program to crash when pasting a large string (e.g. large url) into a document, making it unsuitable for writing web pages.
Summary
It's very good
mnxhengDecember 20, 2009
Pros

Cons
none till now
Summary
it's a very nice product
Better Than Most You Pay For
phppunkAugust 30, 2009
Pros
Most of the features of expensive IDE's and editors, and some they don't have -- and it's free! Last year I tried so many editors I lost count, installing every free oneand trials for many many others, and PS Pad won.
Cons
I wish the sidebar for file, project, code explorer, ftp, etc., was collapsible.
Summary
For something that's free, I can't believe it does what it does and that more people don't know about it. It's not as fancy an interface design as something like Dreamweaver et al, but it is still clear, it's there and easy to find, and there's little that it can't do in terms of most basic to intermediate and even advanced features that you need 98% of the time. I use this for html, CSS, php, javascript, XML, CSV and My SQL, and so on. It is loaded with advanced features including a fast and easy to find and use ftp connection. Create and save projects, save favs, over 20+ syntax highlighters plus more you can install, excellent CSS & html synatx & highlighting & editing, word wrapping on and off, multiple character encoding options, an awesome code explorer tree sidebar to find functions, includes, variables, globals, etc..--this feature alone is as good or better than that in most expensive editors and dev environments. I could go on about the features. I've tried so many products int he past year, and I settled on using this most of the time and Notepad++ for other things. I even am a proud owner of Zend Studio, and I still find that I use PS Pad most of the time for routine tasks.
