Emerald Editor Reviews

I cannot find the source code as advertised.

Was great 15 years ago but if you want a great text editor then just use notepad-plus-plus

I have been using Crimson Editor for almost 15 years and it is the BEST pure text editor you can find for Windows. I am currently running 3.70 on Win10 and it is still works great. It is light-weight but EXTREMELY powerful, and has a combination of features other text editors do not. What I do NOT love is that there is NO support. I had hoped when it moved SourceForge that maybe that would change, but there has not been an update in over 12 years, so .... 4 stars not 5. BTW, Speaking of a feature not seen anywhere else .... if anyone needs Keyword files for Arduino .ino , let me know.

In all ways, this is the most light-weight, all feature providing text editor I've ever found. Been using it for last 10+ years as default editor. Column mode, CNTRL+\ (return to last edit), Split window, customization of colors and key-words, Macros, Block-selection, reg-exp, Tabbed-windows etc are great features. Highlight and just search (w/o CNTRL+F) saves lot of time while searching. Usage as an IDE : Tools config, output capture (from compilers etc), Project/Folder view etc are superb.

I'm using Crimson Editor for a long time now. It is very useful. There are some improvements which i would like to see (to make the working with ced easier) but CED is simply great as it is.

At least on Windows 7, the editor always asks me for the administrator password when started. I do have admin rights, but it's absolutely annoying to enter the admin pwd every time. Not useful for me.

Is this really a valid release? Version 3.72 doesn't support drop of files, which original Crimson Editor 3.70 does. And when trying to access a windows share it asks for user/password despite that share already having been authenticated. Crimson 3.70 does not require user/password to access the same share. Switching back to 3.72 and it asks for the credentials.

Needed a lightweight text editor that supported Matlab, got exactly what I wanted. Please continue supporting this project!

I will recommend it to all my friends, because it's great!
