I've been using the UE products since *UltraEdit* was at version 6. Recent problems have gotten me looking at other products, but ultimately, they're not as satisfying. There are one or two other editors I like for very specific tasks (Source Insight is GREAT with C, but needs a lot of fiddling), but I still come back to the IDM editors when the heavy lifting needs to be done. However, there are some features missing from the product that would be awesome:
Grid View:
I tried a product called "LargeEdit" when UES had trouble with a 1.5GB SQL dump file. LargeEdit didn't live up to its billing, but it did seem to have a cool "grid view" feature that put tabular data in a spreadsheet-type grid. On the other hand, IDM quickly responded to my issue and solved the problem.
Eclipse-style "Templates":
It's nice to be in Eclipse, type a short character sequence, and have it blow out an entire control structure, class declaration, etc.
