Unique features like text bookmarks, document classes, the 'Quick Open' command, full screen mode, document selector, and the 'Warm Start' option in version 3.x exemplify the attention to detail prevalent throughout TextPad and are great examples of how Helios has developed TextPad from the ground up with the user in mind. Version 4.0 takes this concept to a new level by focusing even more on the various needs of its users.
While TextPad may not meet all of your needs -- especially when it comes to developing Web sites from scratch (check out HomeSite, FrontPage, or HotDog for that) -- if you want a quick and powerful editor that can make your life a whole lot easier, TextPad is definitely the app for you. HTML Writer fans, overworked Web developers, and text editor junkies can all rejoice -- the 'consummate exemplar' of efficient text/HTML editing has finally arrived.
Pros: Quick, powerful, and extremely easy to use; impressive feature-set
Cons: TextPad excels at maintaining Web sites, not creating them
