UltraEdit vs iBored

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.

iBored doesn't cost anything.

Uses an extensible templates system to view structures of common disk and volume formats.

iBored is one of the few disk editors on the Mac.

Can be used to remotely assist in viewing and repairing disks over the internet: iBored has to be started on both computers, and then one can connect to the other and view and modify its data (after getting permissions from the target side).
