    @HeilNizar: There are many editors out there much better than the NotePad++ though UltraEdit is definitely not one of them.

    UE not only is bloated, unreliable, slow and buggy but also suffers from a number of very serious encoding issues especially when using Unicode / UTF8. I've lost days of work in the past due to all these issues.

    On the contrary, editors with full Uniscribe support like EmEditor and EditPlus as well as a few others like HippoEdit or AkelPad work great with Unicode, are light in resource usage and disk footprint and perform faster and much more stable than this junk.

    Simply:
    1. Too big;
    2. Too bloaty; and
    3. Too expensive.

    Try something Like:
    1. EditPlus (http://www.editplus.com/index.html) or
    2. TwistPad (http://www.carthagosoft.net/)

    Both are full featured, light load on your system and relatively cheap.

    UltraEdit used to be my favorite programmers editor for years; but not any more. I cannot stand any more the bloat, the slowness and all those silly bugs.

    Eaves I have to agree with you. I'm still using 11.20b and it's fast! The search option to list lines containing text which opens a separate window is one of my favorite features! But seriously, ten seconds to load on a 3GHz machine?!?
    Is this thing written in Java?
