- it works natively with RTF. I use JEditX almost exclusively from within Devonthink. I've created several RTF templates for different purposes (article/audio transcription/notes) which I open in JEditX from within DT. When the article is done and sent, all my words are automatically contained within the database, along with reference materials.
- it's better than DT's native RTF editor. JEditX has a range of tools to make massaging words easier - Automator actions, Applescripts, a superb Find module. I often clip from PDFs, for instance: JEditX quickly tidies up the extra lines breaks and white space. I have to export text files in Windows format: JEditX does that, too.
- it's better than a text editor. A lot of the functionality of JEditX can be found in a capable text editor. The problem with text editors is viewing the text - no line spacing, no paragraph spacing - which can make long chunks of text difficult to navigate. JEditX allows you to set up a pleasing text view, and still use text editor power to transform text.
- it just works. Sometimes you hit on a bit of software created by a developer who seems to work the same way you want to. I don't have a clue who Artman21 is, except that he's Japanese and he has second-guessed the needs of this Australian. Thanks.

The Find module is truly amazing, especially the way you can ask it to find all occurrences of a word or phrase and, if you want, have those words shown with the surrounding *context* which you can then save as a file as well. I have used that particular feature so many times to understand how some word or idea is being explained within an article I need to analyze.
"It just works" Yes! It's simply a great, powerful, tool for anyone who has to work with text. Thanks for writing this great review so I could chime in with my American "two-bits." I can't recommend JEditX enough.

This editor's been respected and has had its own following for a while, too. I'd need more reasons than 'go with this one instead' to decide between the two.

These names are too similar!
developers really should research prospective names (to see if there is a similarly named app) BEFORE they name their apps.

Developers should research prospective names, indeed.
