Advantages and disadvantages of various text editors

My evaluation of UltraEdit:

**Advantages:**

1. Files open relatively quickly.

2. The hexadecimal editing function is powerful.

3. Column operations are the most powerful I've ever seen, surpassing even Vim and Emacs.

4. It has a code suggestion feature; if a variable `abc` is defined earlier, and you type `a` later, pressing Ctrl + Space will prompt you with `abc`.

5. It supports code folding.

6. Configuration options are quite comprehensive.

7. The functionality is extensive—many features that seem new in other text editors have actually been available in UltraEdit for a long time.

8. The right-click menu is very powerful.
