About UltraEdit Studio

UltraEdit Studio offers all the great features of UltraEdit plus a bunch more. For a web designer the biggest help will be the version control features that are included as well as Ruby support and new PHP functions added. One of the things I really like is the ability to name (and save) your favorite search strings—this makes it easy to automate tasks and be more efficient. It also has version control built in, which is really useful if you work in a team environment. UltraEdit Studio is a full-featured IDE that works well for building web applications. I hope that a future release adds in functionality for testing and deploying mobile applications as well. But even without that, this is a powerful tool.
