Toad for Oracle, UltraEdit, and Snagit are my EDC tools at work. I tried to replace Toad and UE with VSCode but I just can’t see/read the text on the VSC screens. Tried a bunch of layouts, fonts, colors, etc and my eyes still screamed “NO!!”. A tool isn’t any good if I can’t see what its showing. I have the same visual problem with UltraCompare so I use BeyondCompare.

UE is for eyeballing large data files and doing all kinds of sorting and de-duplication. I like it enough to buy my own copy when purchasing at work said “no”. Toad for most everything else I need. Snagit it there to record steps, create quick how2 docs with lines and arrows. I like UE because it keeps my text focused and me out of the formatting a document “just right” rabbit hole. UE lets me right how2 text and get it on paper in real time then I circle back later and spiff it up with snagits I took while doing working the steps and then I go BCC playing with formatting the doc and its grammar before sharing it.

Is this a free upgrade?

Comment on Here’s what you’re paying for with UltraEdit (what you don’t get with free) by Dave VanderWekke

After having used UltraEdit since the mid 1990s in both work and personal capacity, I am likely making the decision to not renew. I just got my renewal notice and after deep thought I cannot justify the cost. I’ve been a software developer/engineer for 34 years and I’ve always had a justification for UltraEdit.

Using tools like Visual Studio, VSCode, Notepad++ and free plugins for Sql Server Management Studio, I can accomplish everything I need to do on a daily basis and now with the introduction of AI tools like CoPilot or GitHub CoPilot, the AI can fill some of the gaps that I might have used UltraEdit for.

So sadly I will allow my trial to run out over the next couple weeks and then I will uninstall this tool that has been with me for my entire career.

For Markdown live preview, consider adding ability to render mermaid diagrams as part of live preview.

In reply to bill lv. It could be because the file is read-only. If that's not the issue, please email our support team so they can look into it further with you.
