• 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.

  Timoleon1.0October 28, 2008

  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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
