I posted just over a year ago that my favorite text editor, UltraEdit, was going to be ported to Linux. In the last month or so, I discovered that alpha testing was already underway and that beta testing would soon start for Ubuntu users. Here are the links to the development updates for March and April.












Wow, now this is good news !
The whole Linux world is waiting in despair for a text editor !
One with a right price ! Hooray !
I liked Ultra Edit when I used it nine years ago. Since then, it’s been vim and Epsilon.
I’m a long time UltraEdit user on my Windows PC at work. At home, I use Quanta+ in Linux. It’s very similar, and OSS. Give it a try.

I will probably try UEX, and have emailed them to be in the beta program.
