• WINDOWS NOTEPAD IS BETTER.

  Lucien_SabreDecember 13, 2010

  Pros

  As plain as Windows Notepad.

  Cons

  Windows Notepad became better that this.

  Summary

  The development was stopped and you notice it; even the old Windows notepad has become better than this one. If you want a fine, neat text editor, try ATech Professional Notepad - despite the Win98-looking interface, it has interesting feature - or EditPlus 3 - also a pretty good HTML editor.

  Summary

  I had heard this was a good editor for very large text files, but it choked on my 32MB text file with a "Could not allocate memory" error. Disappointing.

• Fastest Editor Ever

  ChrisbordApril 29, 2009

  Pros

  Starts as fast as notepad (written in assembly). Loads ridiculously large files almost instantly. Macros are easy as pie.

  Cons

  As a programmer's editor it's not that useful. But since it was developed in the early 90s, so what do you expect?

  Summary

  PFE is minimal, and ridiculously fast. It was written in pure assembly language and loads a 10MB file in a second, including program startup time. The macro editor is great too, just record a set of keystrokes and replay by pressing F7 as many times as you need.

• Great - very useful - simple text editor replacement for other WINTEL editors

  August 12, 2008

  Pros

  cna write / save code files for unix systems from my PC and not have those stupid ^M characters in the file from a wintel machine. (Avoiding to use vi to replace the windows CR LF charaters at the end of every line.) <p>Love being able to configure as I like colors, line numbering and printer preferences.

• Great for Editing English Files

  miqrogrooveApril 28, 2008

  Pros

  Edits large text files simultaneously without the fuss.

  Cons

  Lacks support for non-English character encoding. In this respect, it is inferior to Notepad.
