Pros
Perfect universal programmer’s editor for every day use.
<p>Very good UI design and source code highlighting possibilities.

Pros
I have never seen editor with so rich visualization possibilities. For example it shows modified lines, current scope (not only when you click near brace, but always when you are inside pair), mark search results in a code etc.
<p>One more thing I like, it implementation of multihighlighter for HTML. Editor recognizes correctly CSS, JavaScript and PHP blocks, plus also uses language specific formatting/commenting/suggestions in every block. Cool.
<p>In same time it starts fast, eats not much memory, has tabs and modern interface.
Cons
Summary
Innovative and intelligent software that REALLY helps

Pros
I like it. I even could not imagine that I can find so much functionality in a not specialized editor and in the same time don't get such overcrowded monster as Ultraedit. Everything is intuitive and context sensitive.
<p>
<p>In comparison to other editors it can really 'understand' programming language. The syntax definition is very powerful. Mostly everything is customizable, so it was easy to me to create a schema for my own scripting language. And a lot of features you get for free if you maintain syntax correctly.
<p>
<p>Some features are really powerful as Code Hints and Code Templates.
<p>
<p>I would say $30 is too cheap for it :).
Cons
Some functionality is still missing, as File Search for example, but I hope this would come with new version.
