Considered Both Products	gedit Lindsay Veazey Senior Data Scientist Chose gedit gedit is very lightweight and intuitive to use- its simplicity is its biggest strength. What you are using here is a pure editor, so it's very much like a more helpful, intelligent version of your basic note-taking application. I find other comparable applications may offer … Incentivized Helpful?	UltraEdit MP Marc Paige AVP Digital and Data Solutions Chose UltraEdit UltraEdit is more stable and has a cleaner update process. Incentivized Helpful? MW Mary Westheimer Business Manager Chose UltraEdit I used to use Microsoft's Notepad, but it is primitive compared to UltraEdit! A programmer introduced me to UltraEdit a long time ago, and I've used it ever since. It may be overkill for our use, but I've never found another program that has the power I want at my fingertips! Incentivized Helpful? Marc Shaffer CEO Chose UltraEdit More functional and easier to use. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose UltraEdit Blows basic notepad out of the water. Have tested Edit++ and a few other text editors, and did not find the same breadth of support or ease of use and with UltraEdit. There is a world of choices out there, but for the price, this one is all you need. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose UltraEdit When compared to most file editing programs UltraEdit usually comes out on top for being extremely flexible and feature-rich. We depend on it every day and although we have several other editors available to us we seem to always go back to this time and time again. Very … Incentivized Helpful? Mathieu Gaouette Consultant BI senior/Administrateur - spécialité SAS Chose UltraEdit Notepad++ does have a lot of the base features of Ultraedit. However, Ultraedit brings a lot more to the table and the corporate licence makes it interesting for large companies. I would still advise small companies to look at it as they can get units for a reasonable price. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose UltraEdit I have evaluated Notepad++ as an alternative to UltraEdit. In some cases, such as loading time, Notepad++ is a superior product. However, in terms of editing existing macros, and editing very large text files UltraEdit is a much better product. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	gedit	UltraEdit
Likelihood to Recommend	I find it really helpful to cut and paste some of my code, or test out my ideas, using gedit. The software is quick to install and is flexible for use with a lot of different software languages. This is a pure editor that is, in my opinion, the premier notes app for coders. Incentivized Lindsay Veazey Senior Data Scientist Read full review	Overall, a great tool for handling large files. Code formatting is very nice and customizable making it very easy to write scripts or SQL or any other language. It is easy to navigate and it remembers files and keeps them in context when shut down and relaunched. My analysts and programmers all use this editor every day. Incentivized MP Marc Paige AVP Digital and Data Solutions Read full review
Pros	Lightweight software Color-coded formatting Many language options for formatting Incentivized Lindsay Veazey Senior Data Scientist Read full review	Search and replace in files that are not open Cut and paste columns - I don't know any other program that can do this! Is a super fast and powerful text editor. Incentivized MW Mary Westheimer Business Manager Read full review
Cons	Little in the way of type hints or formatting suggestions Purely an editor- no way to test the code No way to pin or quickly search for your favorite languages; the scrolling is somewhat cumbersome Incentivized Lindsay Veazey Senior Data Scientist Read full review	It would be great if a total page view, including images and spacing would be helpful. More automated for repetitive functions. Incentivized Marc Shaffer CEO Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	As a program UltraEdit comes ready to use out of the box and requires very little setup for it to be extremely useful. It's flexibility among a wide array of tasks and files makes it a go-to for all our troubleshooting and data viewing needs. Timely updates and great support.

Return on Investment	Easy to manually move and save ideas or chunks of code for future commits Free to install Widely applicable for different languages Incentivized Lindsay Veazey Senior Data Scientist Read full review	Tough to measure. UltraEdit will make users more efficient and quick. The ROI is in the time saved by these programmers.
