Editor's review of NoteTab Pro 5.61

  • 4.0 stars

  • "Powerful text editor proves beauty is only skin deep"

Once you explore the power of NoteTab Pro, you may find this text editor beautiful despite its off-putting interface. The Pro version adds tag highlighting and allows you to program your own features. The left-hand column displays a list of commands, called clips, that do anything from inserting bits of text to generating code. Each library, the roster of which appears as buttons at the bottom of the screen, contains its own set of clips. The FTP library, for example, lets you create server profiles, connect, upload and download files, and issue various commands. The publisher's site offers many user-created libraries, or you can make your own. You can create your own clips by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F2 and edit them easily.

The Tidy HTML clip (in the HTML and Utilities libraries) incorporates the free download HTML Tidy, available on Download.com. While the TopStyle library similarly requires a CSS editor of that name, we couldn't get it to work. We would like to see a trial of the spelling and thesaurus features, too. NoteTab Pro isn't a tool for casual users, but power users and programmers should find plenty to love.

    "Meets my needs with respect to a text editor."

    by alsandor on June 28, 2008

    Pros: Fast to open, good Internet connectivity in texts, I use it for html editing at home, I can keep lists that need regular updating open in Favorites [sic], I use it at work to change text cases which would otherwise need retyping.

    "EXCELLENT PRODUCT!"

    by T Wayne on June 27, 2008

    Pros: Probably the best things to me are being able to simply click VIEW icon and have NoteTab toss the localhost URL into my browser to display my PHP pages locally.

    Being able to create my own clip libraries is GREAT! Love the drag&drop capability of building a library.

    Multiple document search, edit, find, replace, etc. obviously is very handy when writing code.

    And of course it does everything NotePad does, and then some, flawlessy and efficiently. Programmabilty is fantastic.

    Also find the "clipboard" file a very handy thing; so simple yet so useful! A great bell/whistle.

    HIGHLY recommnded for anyone needed not quite a full IDE or a good NotePad replacement for opening and working on multiple files simultaneusly.

    Cons: I guess the only thing I really don't like is, some of the supplied lbraries are irrelevant to me and a couple that could have been missed the mark. Most should be defaulted to not display by default and simply indicate a "more" instead, so I can go choose which ones to have available. The list is just too long to have turned on by default, which means lots of irrelevant clips.

    "Best of the Bunch"

    by OGollaher on June 27, 2008

    Pros: Quick, full-featured and very versatile. The amount of "clips" or additional small programs that can be used within this editor to work on anything from HTML to ASCII characters to balancing your checkbook are more than any other program offers. The author keeps the product continually upgraded. You can't really do much better in a general text editor, and I've tried dozens of them!

    Cons: There is no version of the product that offers rich text support, which I would really like.

    "Best Text editor I have found!"

    by rdlorf on June 22, 2008

    Pros: I've used this software for about 5 years and have found the features to be one of the best buys I have ever made! I use it for basic edit tasks, striping formating from web copy, find & replace to clean data for importing into databases, and for creating basic HTML web pages, including tables! It's fast, it's reliable, and automatically makes a backup file as you edit!
