Cons
Con Working with very very large projects
Code runner is fantastic for shorter projects, although it can handle very large projects. It stops code completion when the program gets to be several thousands of lines long.
Con Depends on Java
Because jEdit requires Java to be installed on the OS, it's not suitable for those who don't want Java.
