Talk:Programmer's File Editor

Notability

Agreed on notability insufficiency. A freeware text editor that was last updated in 1999 hardly qualifies for inclusion.71.202.23.39 00:23, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think PFE is notable. It was and I think still is very popular. I still use it along with other editors. (Maybe *that's* notable, that it still runs fine after 8 years.) :-) Scott Carpenter 04:09, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I found a news article saying "Alan Phillips has won awards for earlier versions of this program, which can edit multiple large files.", which may establish notability, although I'm not sure what the awards actually are. +1 programmer who still uses it, here. --McGeddon (talk) 12:03, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Other users

Here is another one using it after 8 years. It is still going strong. Someone should port it to Linux also, it is _that_ good. //M. Adler.

Agreed, I'm still using it every day. It has outlasted every IDE I've tried. NeilFraser (talk) 22:49, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Make that eleven years, and still my preferred editor; despite fooling around with many of the other Windows text editors listed. Possibly because it hasn't expanded to encompass email. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.155.173.230 (talk) 02:30, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've not found an easy way to search for a "word" or "identifier" - to find "end" but not "ending". I use PFE for all Web and general editing. 82.163.24.100 (talk) 22:11, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I used it for years, then switched to Notepad++, which I think is a worthy successor. It handles Unicode and has better language specific colour display options. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jp-hickson (talk • contribs) 12:29, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Still using it, 13 years on. Classic software. -- John (Daytona2 · Talk · Contribs) 18:51, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
