EmEditor is a feature-rich text editor for Windows that supports a variety of plug-ins and macros.

While Microsoft’s Notepad software can be useful in some situations, that program has a few distinct drawbacks. Even though it is incredibly lightweight, it doesn’t have very many tools to work with. If you are ready for a feature-rich text editor that can be run on practically any Windows device, then you might want to try out EmEditor.

One of the biggest benefits of EmEditor is the fact that it can run on old and outdated devices, and even its footprint is extremely small. It is an ideal option for anyone who wants to take quick notes but doesn’t want to invest in Microsoft Word or another robust piece of software. In addition to being an excellent text editor, it is also compatible with a few different programming languages, and that includes CSS, JSP, and TeX.

To further customize EmEditor, you can download a variety of different plug-ins so that this software seamlessly integrates with all of your other programs. Overall, this is a good pick for anyone who needs a lightweight editor that is slightly more useful than Notepad.
