There is much to like about HippoEDIT, like the fact that it provides support for a myriad of programming languages, that it highlights syntax, uncovers spelling mistakes, comes with a customizable tabbed interface, features a built-in browser, supports macros, and a lot more. If you’re a programmer or a power user, this versatile word editor will meet all your needs.

A setup wizard will guide you through the application's installation process. It will ask you to choose a supported language (English or German), pick an installation type (full, minimal, or custom), select if you want a desktop icon and pick a few shell integration options, and choose the installation folder (current user, all users, portable). The application can be easily installed on top of multiple Windows editions, including Windows 7 and 8. Once you’re done with the installation and you launch HippoEDIT, you will be presented with a prompt that asks you what you want to do: open an existing file, open a project, or create a new file.

The text you’re working on is presented front and center on the application’s interface. Underneath the text there’s a Bookmarks pane; above it there’s a traditional File Menu and a bar with shortcuts for various HippoEDIT features and functions. It must be mentioned that HippoEDIT features a tabbed interface that provides support for themes or skins. It must be also mentioned that you can change the interface’s feel by playing with the color schemes HippoEDIT uses.

As mentioned above, HippoEDIT is a properly good word editor that has a lot to offer. Just to put things in perspective, here’s a quick look at the application’s main features: support for numerous languages, syntax highlighting, spell checking, email the file, print, bookmarks, text highlight, powerful search function, multiple formatting options, support for macros, preview in browser, and more. You have all the functionality that, as a programmer, you would expect to get from a text editor.

HippoEDIT is not free, it is only free to try. You can evaluate the application’s functionality for a trial period of 30 days.

Powerful text editing functionality is delivered via a user friendly and customizable interface by the versatile application HippoEDIT.

HippoEDIT is available for 32 and 64-bit Windows editions. The user friendly interface can be customized. Support for numerous programming languages is offered. HippoEDIT has powerful text editing functionality to offer.

Cons

Free to use for a trial period of 30 days.
