In a day and age where IDEs and specialized coding editors are at the heart of programming and developers’ workflows, finding the right solution for your particular requirements can sometimes be quite challenging. This is exacerbated by the abundance of software addressing such aspects, as well as their inherent characteristics. RText’s take on coding aims to provide a more balanced approach, by offering users a capable core engine, wrapped into a minimalist editor, whose features address a wide range of tasks and processes.

The application features a really thoughtful, modern design, which is both elegant and functional at the same time. We feel that this is important in an IDE, as it can boost productivity, by merging form with function.

Speaking of design, RText features a highly customizable interface, whose layout incorporates a multitude of panels and elements, which can be easily arranged, moved, and toggled, in order to achieve a truly custom coding experience.

We really enjoyed the app’s versatility, and we believe that the provided features set and the way that those can be adjusted to one’s specific requirements, make for a very custom experience. Multiple workspaces can be managed simultaneously, as well as files, through the integrated tab system.

An advanced spell checker module is included, and all the standard elements that you would expect to find in a capable IDE are present, such as tools for performing advanced text formatting or search and filtering modules.

Don’t let its simple looks deceive you, as RText can provide reliable performance as an advanced text editor, regardless if you’re a student preparing for your IT exam, or a full-time developer.
