Several weeks ago I had two somewhat unusual text editing jobs that I thought I could easily solve in UltraEdit (but I gave up and did it another way). I'm using Notepad++ more and more now, as frankly it's easier to use than UE. With UltraEdit, I've gone from a once devotee who would always load it as the first utility after the O/S installation to running it in parallel with the excellent freeware text editor Notepad++. Moreover, it's getting hard to find one's way around UltraEdit and some of the newer features (such as the macro list pop outs are simply annoying and should be turned off by default). I find myself agreeing more with ssb, as recent versions of UE are definitely buggy (and it crashes) and there's considerable bloatware not to mention that it now takes considerably longer to load than it once did.

Like emanresU deriseD I too have a lifetime license for UltraEdit and I've used it for many years (and it's still my default text editor) but I'm not so upbeat about it as him. Moreover, it's not encumbered with that activation nonsense (or it wasn't when I bought my last copy-v 6.1, the current latest version being now v6.23). VEDIT is far from the classiest of editors but it's a true heavy-duty tractor of an editor with a long solid lineage (VEDIT pro64 will even edit 100GB+ file!!!), and it's a similar price to UltraEdit. In summary, for most users use Notepad++-it's free! For diehards and those with special requirements, use UltraEdit-but before you commit to it, I'd strongly recommend you try VEDIT. However, even though U/E loads the file it is almost impossible to slide the scrollbar through such a large file with reasonable granularity/fineness-ergonomically it's hopeless to use and the problem needs to be fixed in future versions. I tried U/E 21 on an old mbox (Eudora/MBX) mail file of about 740MB, which is essentially a super-sized text file, and U/E 21 loaded it comparatively quickly and without fault, which is a considerable improvement over earlier versions before v20 (they would have had great difficulty with a file of that size). That's changed somewhat for the better with U/E v20 onward.

It was slow and unresponsive even with the large file settings enabled, and with really large files it'd take ages before the scrollbar would free up-and it if didn't then U/E had locked up altogether or crashed! For me, the solution was always the venerable 30+-year-old VEDIT to the rescue, as it would have no trouble with 2GB text files. U/E has always been able to edit reasonably large text files of 10s to some hundreds of megabytes but until version 20 it's been a first-class dog at so doing. For the average user I'd still strongly recommend the freeware Notepad++ (or perhaps free RJ TextEd) in preference to U/E, but Notepad++ cannot handle very large text files without crashing (it's a design fault rather than a bug)-but UltraEdit can. That said, in fairness to U/E, I should clarify what I said in my earlier review of v20.

Even though I've access to lifetime upgrade licences, I still prefer to use version 16.20 as it's not encumbered with this ergonomically-unfriendly activation nonsense.

Locking the product to a particular machine, is perhaps tolerable for programs such as Windows and Photoshop, but frankly it's quite ridiculous to do so for a text editor (for me, this is not a piracy issue-I've multiple legit earlier versions-but it's often impractical especially in the early stages of fixing/reinstalling a PC before U/E is able to go online to be validated, especially if the program's demo mode has already timed out). One of the major obstacles to using UltraEdit since version 17 is that the program is activated a la Windows which means that you can't move it around on a memory stick and such. I have not had sufficient time to verify that the bugs which were present in v20 are fully ironed out in this version. UltraEdit is aimed at developers and such who spend considerable time editing, and it has an exorbitant price to match of $79.95. (To me, the FTP section looks uncannily like a clone of FileZilla.) This version of U/E adds a few new features such as improved 'Quick Find', 'Multi-caret' editing that allows-as its web site says-'multiple changes in different places in your file at one time'-a dangerous operation unless you're an experience user who is very familiar with what you're doing and there's also changes to the inbuilt FTP client browser which U/E's site espouses as multi-pane with many improvements. My view of this current UltraEdit has not fundamentally altered since my previous review of U/E 20.00 (hereunder), which is that it is now a huge overly bloated text editor that's grown like Topsy and thus somewhat disorganized and confusing to use (especially for the casual user).
