UltraEdit and UEStudio both include powerful features such as syntax highlighting, code folding, integrated scripting and macro support, and more. However, there are some key differences between UltraEdit and UEStudio such as version control, language intelligence, and integrated development tools. The chart below outlines these and other differences.
"I'm very excited about what you've done here (UEStudio) - my (SQL) development cycle has been cut in half." David G.

I downloaded and installed the new UEStudio less than an hour ago, and the new features are already greatly appreciated. The two most welcome new features are the as-you-type spell checker and the browser preview. These two alone will save me countless hours in the long run. UEStudio just keeps getting better and better. I find I am using my other development tools less and less, while UEStudio gains more and more of my productivity time. Registering was absolutely one of the wisest software investments I have made. Considering the price, I think it's an absolute bargain. Matt M.
No matter your text editing needs, UEStudio's stunning array of innovative features offer the functionality of a bonafide IDE and will transform the way you work.
