A secondary objective of the developing team would be to replace the Notepad utility with a richer and more user-oriented text editing environment. There’s a certain ease of use and a high level of comfort about EverEdit that leaves a great impression on the end user, who can experiment endlessly within the extensible editor.

Opting between the installer edition and the portable one is a matter of taste and personal preferences, since both versions sport the exact same feature set. In terms of appearance, EverEdit adopts a pleasant and intuitive interface, home to a rich collection of menus and toolbars that encase its whole functionality.

Users who are accustomed to this sort of application should have no trouble figuring out the usage, however, beginners need not worry, because the options are stated clearly enough to be understood from the first acquaintance.

EverEdit is able to edit and create C++, HTML, PHP and Markdown files, with the observation that support can be extended to include JS and CSS formats, as well, through add-ons. Features such as syntax highlighting, advanced search, case conversion, formatting, code folding, encoding conversion and spell checking are just a few of the program’s functions.

On top of these, you’ve got support for snippets and the possibility to process incredibly large files, combined with the built-in HEX editor and options to change the appearance of the program via the built-in themes.

All in all, EverEdit comes across as a reliable editor that can manipulate both text and programming files in a manner that benefits end users and eases their work considerably.
