    Nice try, but unfortunately there are freeware editors out there that are better than this. If you want quick, low resource usage and syntax highlighting, use Notepad2. If you want a fully-featured editor that does more or less everything this does, try PSPad. $19 simply isn't worth it.

    Actually quite impressive. With all the fantastic freeware notepad replacements around, it's nice to see an shareware alternative actually worth paying for.

    Only thing missing would be the important "split editing window" mode, that most of the alternatives offers.

    (Tile windows does _not_ count ;)

    Still 5 stars from me.

    My Favourite editor of the moment, light, fast and well crafted. It also has some innovative twists to the features like file compare, replace and syntax editing. Also visually shows you what you have just changed or saved. The next version (1.60) promises to bring session restore and many other feature updates.

    this is actually quite nice. I really like this text editor. My original review stated that there was no way to do block select mode, this is in fact false...simply hold down ALT and your done :)
