As an Engineer when you are review gigs of data from a customer, loading that log file in UltraEdit and searching across has become very easy.
Pros
- Very helpful in searching and modifying files for specific data
- Useful in analyzing and modifying scripts
- Automatic detection of type of script/language based on saved file extension
- Really helpful in loading up files that are huge in size. Notepad++ fails to do so and hangs
- Awesome part - They have a MAC version
Cons
- The menu bar has too many options that makes it clumsy
- File size is huge, sometimes take some time to load

Great for SAS programming
Reviewed on 2021/08/07
Pros
I liked the layout and integration with SAS fusion environments for ease of navigating folder/file locations. I also liked being able to record macros of commonly ran code and assigning keyboard shortcuts to said macros.
Cons
Graphical interface seemed to revert back to original with any product updates. Also with too many windows open in the application would disable the clipboard on other windows applications.

The only editor you need
Reviewed on 2019/02/17
Pros
I cannot use a computer without this tool and it's one of the first software I install when I get started with a new machine. It's super fast and capable of editing any kind of file. Search, applying regex, column editing. If you can imagine something, Ultraedit can do it.
I've recently extended my purchase to the suite so I can use all their tools for a small annual fee. Definitely a winner!
Cons
I've been used this software for many years and I cannot find anything it's not capable of doing. The only cons I see is that since it's such a powerful tool, it requires a bit of learning

Utra Edit is Ulta Pro
Reviewed on 2021/10/30
Pros
Utra edit is one the best tool for open big text files like system logs. It is widely used in every sector. The most powerful feature I like is supporting the big files which is in GB. You can easily open the file in ultra edir.
Cons
Ultra edit also has the improvement area and i think the least supportive feature is direct copy or selected copy after the search.

Opening and editing configuration files, saving text for use later, copying/pasting text between other applications - basically anything where you need to work with plain text.
Pros
Simple interface designed for developers with auto-colouring of code, and the ability to open nearly any file. Search and filter features are great too.
Cons
Nothing - best one I have used.
Doesn't need to be updated every second day.

Overall, this tool is very good if you are willing to pay for it. The features are good but not better than other competitors out there. We can multi-select and edit codes, highlight syntaxes, etc. which helps a lot.
Pros
The user interface is good and installation is simple. All the files are organized well. The web development tools helps a lot. The tool allows us to code in any programming language like JavaScript, HTML, JSON, etc. We can edit, modify codes easily.
Cons
The tool is very costly even for personal use and this is a major drawback. When working on larger projects, the tool keeps hanging and becomes slow. The GUI can be improved to make user experience better.

I have used it during the trial period, and there is nothing to complain about, on the contrary. It is loaded with cool features, there is an embedded FTP client. I would have definitely gone for the paid version if there were more options of subscriptions and if there were options in other currencies other than USD.
Pros
It is a very powerful text editor, full of features. Very customizable. It performs really well with large files, no hanging whatsoever. It is supported across different operating systems, so no matter what is your OS, you can still get UE.
Cons
No major drawbacks other than it does not have a free version, there is only a 30-day trial and the subscription is yearly.

I've been using this program since its Version 4--and now they're up to Ver 25! I've been working on websites since the late 1990s, and a good text/HTML editor is essential--even if you are using a WYSIWYG program, especially if you want to fine tune the page appearance. While everything is now done with content management software, text tweaks still need to be accomplished.
The company behind UE is dedicated to keeping it the best. Strongest recommendation.
Pros
Embarrassingly feature rich. Great for doing HTML work for websites--which is my main use of it. But it can be used for any text-editing requirement--and this is important for anyone whose computer needs go beyond e-mail and MS-Word. e.g. most mailing list programs allow import of text files, and these can easily be cleaned up with UltraEdit.
Cons
As with any feature-rich program, a learning curve is involved if you want to go beyond the basics. But, there is an elaborate Help facility that will provide assistance, as well as quick customer support. I once needed some macros, and the support team wrote them for me!

I used UltraEdit for some javscript and html coding and for repetitive tasks with text files, particularly editing raw CSV files. Ultra edit was a mainstay in my development arsenal for many years.
Pros
It's a good text editing program with some advanced features. It's text manipulation and macro recording helped me with some very repetitive tasks.
Cons
It was a little harder to work out how to customise and extend it's features, but for what it was used for it was and still is a great text editor.

Overall, extremely useful and versitale for various types of code.
Pros
Multiple code type templates and multi tab editing allow for ease of switching between various languages & formats easily. Tools bundled (file compare, direct connect and editing with files not local...etc.) are extremely powerful.
Cons
Integration to Git is not straight forward and difficult to control when editing bot Git repository objects and local objects not in Git. Split screen editing between 2 or more files is not intuitive and can be difficult to consistently get the affect you are trying to get.

It is my go to editor when I'm not doing something in an IDE. Quickly opens the file auto-detecting human readable (apply your own encoding) or binary file. Great navigation, great all around tool for handling files of any type and size.

Cons
I've used this editor since 1987 if there was anything I thought was a con I would have moved on a long time ago. It has only gotten stronger with age.

I have been using this product for over 15 years and it is my go to editor. My secondary one is BBEdit. The column editing mode is the main feature that I keep using to standardize and format code.
Pros
This editor comes with standard editing features plus some very special editing features. There is a capability to edit by column which is rare in other editors. Copy, paste, and edit in a column mode.
The find, find in files, and find and replace options enhance the editing capabilities.
Cons
The one feature I would like is the ability to compare two files side by side to see the differences like BBEdit. There is a compare ability, but BBEdit’s capabilities outshine those of Ultraedit.

I have to work with many different types of files and this program manage to open and work with all of them. I also like very much option to edit txt files by colums. It is very useful if you copy some data from Excel and have to use some of them to make sql cripts.

Cons

If you are looking for a reliable, fast, powerful text editor, and is willing to spend some money, then UltraEdit is the editor to go with. Free trial is available.
Pros
UltraEdit is fast, even when editing large files. It supports themes, so you can switch between the built-in ones or you can create your own. The features I like the most are the ability to select and edit multiple columns at the same time, and file comparison.
Cons
I have nothing to complain about other than the price. It is more expensive than other popular text editors that are as feature-rich as UltraEdit is.

It is an editor that is available in each sector of my work, and it has been useful to me even though I do not dedicate myself to programming. I have used it to search for text and edit small text files, being very useful in office tasks only for certain occasions.
Pros
It has a lot of functionalities that make it very special and very complete. Ideal for programmers or simply read text. Performs advanced functions apart from editing, such as highlighting text and comparing files. It is very good to edit multiple files and connect via FTP to other servers to edit files. I really like its interface and the possibility to customize its appearance.
Cons
UltraEdit requires the user to devote a great effort to understand the large number of functions it offers. Unlike other publishers, UltraEdit offers too many possibilities and functionalities that can be overwhelming for the user. However, all this is what makes UltraEdit a very powerful and worthwhile software to understand.

This editor is good if its free oterwise not recommended.
Pros
It has some good features which I like:
1. Cloud Integration
2. Good Language support
Cons
1. The thing which I don't like is that it is not free and it lacks some features which notepad++ is giving for free.
2. The most irritating experience I observed was that when I searched a text and then clicked on filter button it collapsed the whole file to that text which looked good at first but there was no way going back from this even after I reopened the file.
3. Mark the same text on selection feature is also missing.
