FlashDevelop vs UltraEdit

FlashDevelop comes without any cost.

FlashDevelop has first-class support for Haxe development, the open source toolkit based on a modern programming language and cross-platform library.

FlashDevelop's code completion is pretty good.

Although everyone claims Flash is dead, it's still quite useful for game developers due to its rapid compile and run times, as well as its great debugging functionality with FlashDevelop.

While it's project template system is not the best compared to it's competitors, it still is decent and is a good way to generate some boilerplate code.

FlashDevelop has XML/HTML completion aside from code completion.

It's windows only, but has tremendous support from plugin developers and a dedicated team that's been developing it for close to 10 years.

FlashDevelop provides very efficient debugging features.

This is very useful for carrying out high-speed HTML coding and editing.

FlashDevelop facilitates project compilation.

Although the code generation can't really be called top-notch, it's decent and sufficient for most developers.

UltraEdit has small memory usage and allows for fast parsing/searching when handling large files.

Supports several protocols for accessing remote files and working on them with the same ease as local files. Files can be integrated in the projects as normal files.

If you need a general editor, UltraEdit is the way to go. If you were writing C/C++ all day, then this would be your editor. If you need to slog through large files then this is your go to editor. If you need to go through XML files, then this is your editor. If you need to sort data, then this your my editor.

It loads with a short delay, but once loaded it's snappy and rock-solid. Anyone accustomed to using Windows text editors will feel at home in its interface, and those that prefer alternate keybindings can easily change them.

From Ultraedit to Perl to Unix regex engines, the search and replace can accomplish just about anything.

Whether for feature requests, technical support or license questions, IDM is always quick to respond.

There's a handful of other features like this that make UltraEdit indispensable.

UltraEdit offer the best of both worlds. it has a full on GUI along with all the shortcut commands you need. There's no need for the user to suffer 80 char limitations of a terminal editor.

UltraEdit allows you to handle groups of files as a project.
