That's just an example, of course.

Can UltraEdit parse JavaScript code and highlight constructs that,  
while they may well work in Firefox during development and testing,  
will cause Internet Explorer to choke? That's a *real* time-saver.

Does UltraEdit integrate with git?

How about syntax-highlighting and correct indentation for Erlang, YAML  
and all sorts of other oddball file formats?

Does it even have a mode where it doesn't fill all of my precious  
screen real estate with pointless menus, tool bars, tabs, and whatnot?

Does UltraEdit run on my Mac, Linux or Solaris systems?

Does UltraEdit come with full source code and allow for free  
redistribution?
