A few days ago, I finally figured out how much I needed a new free text editor, after using Notepad for a few weeks too many. Why, I have no idea, it was just the fact that I continued to hope that I’d get my old software setup back (hard drive failure & backup failure some months ago, I told you about that). Unfortunately, chances to do that are close to none now, so I decided to step forward and get myself some nice text editor. Free, if possible…
… and since finding a free text editor for Windows isn’t hard at all, I ended up facing RJ TextEd. This is not a review, so I will only tell you this: file manager, Web browser, a complete CSS editor, FTP client, Code Explorer tool, project management capabilities, as well as macros? That’s a lot for a free text editor, and I only scratched the surface with those, believe me!
RJ TextEd is more than just a simple text editor, but if you work a little on those options, you can make it look almost as simple as Notepad, but its power remains the same. For me, this programs features are more than enough, and I can only hope that some of you will manage to fully unleash this free software beast, because it would be a pity to use it just for editing plain text files, without using bookmarks, syntax highlighting or any other of the goodies available in the package…
Did I mention it also supports Windows 7 without any problems? Go ahead and give it a try, your only excuse would be a Linux-only PC or a Mac!
