Free or paid, it's up to you. The five text editors presented here offer a wide variety of functions and settings. To choose one, the best is to try them all. A text editor is a bit like a smartphone: nothing is worth a grip to know if the one we think to adopt really suits us :
- Notepad ++
- UltraEdit
- EditPad Lite
- EditPlus
- TextPad
Concerning the choice, we recommend the use of Notepad ++, as it is free and easy to use.
