  • What a great editor. I don't understand why it is not more in widespread use. I like it as much as emacs or vi. And writing your own macros is easy and very powerful ; it's much easier than in emacs !

  • I use jEdit all the time, but version 5.6.0 is very unstable in Windows (try open some ten documents, search for a common word, and then try view the results in each file, my 5.6 program crashed on that). I replaced it by version jEdit 5.5 and that works so far as it always did. Great programmer editor if you know RegExp! --- --- --- P.S. Stick to the default Metal look and feel, and no "experimental features" (strangely enough in 5.5 you can't copy paste in the search field with other look and feels).
  • Thank you very much for the free open source program!
  • cool editor!!
  • Very extensible, and perfect for developers.
  • JEdit is developed for long time. It really worth to learn it. It works perfectly on multiple platform (Mac, Win Linux) and make easier to switch between platforms.
  • Very handy editor for programmers, it has not only syntax highlights but basic class explorer features and mature plugin infrastructure.
  • I'm using jEdit for every text-edit tasks I have simply because: 1) It's so versatile 2) (relatively) easy to adjust to one's needs 3) Powerful due to its plugins 4) fast (enough) on a descent system 5) Usable on each OS I care for: macOS, Linux, (sometimes) WinDOS and even Solaris (back in those days...)

  • Лучший редактор для тех, кто любит горячие клавиши. Не хватает только emmet/zencoding и дополнения значений CSS-свойств. UPD: появился zrncoding, хоть и не до конца, но лучше, чем ничего. К тому же, автор исправляет баги, о которых я пишу, это радует.
  • Good, but r*****ing
  • Very handy
  • I love it because it is open-source, platform agnostic, very customizable, good looking and pleasant to use.

  • I use jEdit daily and have done so for years. It collects a number of features together under a single application and has a strong base editor. The features I use have changed over the years, but that's just a testament to its utility :)
