Used to work - now installed multiple other apps/trojan
ginafromtampaApril 22, 2016
Pros
Good features
Cons
Used to work. Installed on new laptop and it download several other apps, which caused popups as well as crashing Chrome. Also attempted to install a trojan but McAfee caught it. Software developer needs to fix.
Summary
I know it's a popular text editor
seyhallJuly 8, 2013
Pros
Nice interface. Many options.
Cons
Deal-breaker: you cannot search for line breaks. In many text editors and word processors, you can search for line breaks by searching for ^P or \n or something like that. You can also replace, for example, \n with \n\n. You cannot do this in PSPad.
Summary
A competent text editor with many features and a loyal user base but with a fatal flaw.
Been using it for years with complete satisfaction.

Pros
I've never used it at work, but it's been on my home PCs for years. I can't remember all the others I've tried; I like this one best. It gets along fine with Vista x64. I use it for css, html, javascript, perl, and sql.
Cons
My needs are simple.
Summary
PSPad a programers editor.
chris_sundown13July 18, 2008
Pros
I like the line numbering that some compliers editors do not have. I like the formatting that is specific per language (C, C++, ini files, HTML, HTM, PHP, etc.
Cons
Hase a compiler list that the editor can work with but could list more avalibal compilers and how to configure them to work with PSPad.
Summary
Thought it would be my new editor of choice
vorshlumpfMay 22, 2008
Pros
There were a few things I really liked about this from the beginning. Saved sessions, for one. There are a lot of features that I feel would be quite useful given the time to learn how to use them.
Cons
#1) This program has crashed on me twice. This is unacceptable for a text editor. If I want to lose my work unexpectedly, I'll use a Microsoft product.<p>#2) Some things that I think should be intuitive aren't. Foremost is the search and replace functionality, with or without Regular Expressions. I'm still not sure if this functionality was not working right, or if I still wasn't able to figure out how to use it.<p>I feel bad giving this program one star out of five, but the crashing simply isn't acceptable for me. Other than that, I could live with the other minor issues I had.

Great Editor
virago81April 23, 2008
Pros
I've used TextPad for years, but finally found this editor that out does it. Syntax highlighting and the ability to edit HTML docs on the server are killer features for me.
Cons
I couldn't find anything I didn't like about the software.
Summary
Great code and text editor
rif42December 9, 2007
Pros
Great editor for programming and text editing. Very feature loaded. At work I dropped using UltraEdit, now uses this for nearly all code editing. PSPad is free, but you can donate if you find it useful (I did).
Cons
Minor details (ver. 4.5.3) - Sometimes graphics dots artefacts are not removed when scrolling through texts or lists. - When going from text to hex view bytes are always 16 bit per column.
