I would love to have a linux version of ultraedit.
If ultraedit came with an awk function/macro, I'd be begging for a version!
Right now, Ultraedit in XP is my only window to sanity dealing with text files from *nix machines. I've found other awesome features too.
With Ultraedit for Unix, then it's just adding a "Run Command" option!
Long time customer, and am amazed to see the new options (U3, Xterm copy/paste, fully customizeable interface, conversions, etc) appear, now I wonder how I lived without them.
What it comes down to is that IDM has always listened to user feedback. It may not be instant, but I am confident a *nix version will be available in the future.
Over the past 10 years, IDM has me spoiled rotten as far as what to expect from a shareware company!
