Extensible, cross-platform text editor with a rich ecosystem of plugins and themes.
- UE's big win is that it's a column based text editor. NOT an SDK. Nearly all text editors listed here are actually SDKs. Either that or they're just the usual suspects. Guest • Jul 2019 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees

Another dog of an editor for large files (260MB) on a Mac. Still, for me, Mac Fiend is working best.

I'm a long-time user and think you get what you pay for. Though it has some quirks, it's a very power editor for both source code and very large text files.

I use UltraEdit as a text and HTML editor. It can be setup to colour code the HTML code and this makes code level editing much easier. Search and replace is about all I do with it so I can't speak about using it on programming code.
