IMHO it's a good thing to see commercial software being ported to Linux.
Now granted, on Linux, we probably don't need yet another editor - especially no closed source one, but it's the spirit that matters.
The more companies out there producing Linux software, the more companies will do the same, accumulating momentum and in the end forcing stuff like Photoshop to happen on Linux sometime in the future.
UltraEdit is a well known product on the Windows world and it's being produced by a well known company, so if they see value in producing a Linux desktop version, others might too.
- nzmsv 17y agoThey won't see that value for very long if no one buys this. Which might well turn out to be the case, since it is a closed-source editor, and alternatives are many.
- jbm 17y agoI was one of the people who ran UEStudio on Windows. When I switched to Ubuntu, I did not find the open source editors to my liking (yes, I know, heresy). However, over the past year Komodo has stopped crashing enough to be the perfect editor for me. I don't see anything Ultraedit does that Komodo doesn't. If they had come out on the market an year ago, I might have felt differently.
