By far the best text editor for windows
Switched to PSPad after experiencing too many problems with Notepad++
I like its small footprint and out-of-the-box Compare and Hex features.
I would give it 5 stars if a x64 version was available
Everything posted about PSPad is correct.
Awesome editor, compare with npp.
Free? Invasive adware could cost $$ to remove.
Maybe cheaper to purchase another product.
So what's the status on alleged adware mentioned here some 10 years ago or so?
I cannot confirm ad- or malware. Could this be due to downloads from other than the original Website? Anyone who bundles unwanted software while posting the text below, would discredit himself and go off on a tangent forever. This is what it says on http://www.pspad.com/en/download.php
I hereby declare, that PSPad installer, downloaded from PSPad page, doesn't contains any bundled software or malware. PSPad installer and PSPad.exe itself is digitaly signed with code signing certificate, issued by Comodo certification authority.
PS: If offered (as here with pspad) I always use portable software versions
I was searching for editor that supports bookmarks like Delphi IDE (or VS with DPack ext), only PSPad have this feature, but lack of code folding is show stopper for me. For example I am debugging parsing big XML file into object models, and using PSPad to examine that XML, without folding it's one big mess :(

I love PSPad. Have used it for years.
Imagine my huge disappointment when I discovered that the latest setup file installed all sorts of undesirable crap in my system. It is no excuse that you can theoretically find a way to decipher the installer to avoid this. The truth is that entire thing is sadly, sadly, oh so sadly conceived to be deceitful.
You've been warned.
