I used to love UltraEdit back in 2000 before I completely switched over to Linux. It handled the various languages I needed (Java, Perl, PHP, Tcl) very well. After switching to Linux, I searched high and low for something that approached its feature set and user-friendliness and ended up with jEdit, which was a very solid replacement. vim and emacs are great, but both jEdit and UltraEdit are very approachable to the newbie. I've downloaded the Ubuntu package and am impressed with the job they've done porting it over. It looks beautiful. I commend them for their effort. Not sure I could come back at this point, but man I wish I had this 9 years ago... I hope the port proves rewarding for them.
