   Review - EmEditor Professional

   8.00 RC5 (Nov 18, 2008)

   For zriding: UE supports big files, it just need a few tweak: basicly, UE is desk base, so it supports opening very large files instantly. To protect your source file, UE always does a copy and what it actually opens is the copied file. If it loads slow, it's very likely that your hard drive is too slow.
   
   BUT UE is REALLY buggy in terms of muiltply language support. Strange code when selecting text, can't undo after column select and dragging or regex sarch and replace.....
   And, it's bloat. It doesn't make any sense that a text editor includes 3 regex engine(functions all the same),both macro and script engines(the latter should do everything the former can do) and code entironment change? Too many function under UE manu can be done through regex, and , should be removed. They add these just to attract Newbies IMHO.
   
   No text editor under Windows is perfect. Emeditor has it's own problem, such as balancing core functions and plug-ins or macros. But with EE's good support for Unicode and POWERFUL macros(hope you know what I'm saying, if not, just try EE and don't forget to read is macro help) , EmEditor is the closest.

   Review - UltraEdit

   14.10 (Aug 27, 2008)

   UE does support large file handling.
   See "IDM Computer Solutions frequently asked questions" below:
   

   Regarding large files, UltraEdit handles files in excess of 4GB. UltraEdit is disk based. This means it only loads small portions of the file at once into memory so it does not use all the memory and stop other applications from running. However, it does make a temporary copy of the file to achieve this and this can take time for large files.
   
   There are several options you can change to optimize the handling of large files. More information is available at our large file handling power tip.

   
   
   after checked "Open the File Without a Temp File" UE opens huge files in seconds.
   
   for coding, UE is still the best. the IntelliTips built in are buggie, and sometimes does work at all. but all these are small issues.
   
   However, I noticed the unicode support in UE is still broken. you may come across probrems in UE's "Column Mode" and "search/replace", which is totally unacceptable for daily editing.
