User Reviews

  • I've been using NEdit ever since it was first released, first on VMS with DCE, then on UNIX and X/Motif, and t has never left my toolbox. It is a great editor, with features still unavailable in modern editors, easily configurable and intuitive, simplicity itself, the very example of UNIX philosophy of "do one thing and do it well". It's only drawback is the lack of support for multibyte character sets (e.g. Unicode/UTF), but for programming, which I always do (and advice to do) in English so the code can be shared, that is not a real issue. Close to 30 years using it and still loving it!

  • Excellent and easy-to-use text editor with great syntax highlighting.

  • This editor is a work of art, inside and outside.

  • Easy for use.
