When it comes to text, editing environments are now available even from your web browsers. However, you might not need all the shiny elements, and abundance of features of a powerful suite. Simply taking notes, or writing your ideas can be done with various tools, just like yummytexteditor.

In order for the application to work, you need to check whether or not .NET Framework is installed on your PC. What’s more, you can take it with you, along with project files on a thumb drive to use on the go, because no installation is required, while system registry entries remain intact during use.

The visual design can feel a little rough. This feeling is emphasized if you drag the window borders around, since they only reveal empty, unusable space, unable to stretch the edit area. This is a shame, considering the default configuration of the text pad is rather small for size.

Writing is done directly on the pad. To be of any use to you, font options don’t need to be a priority, because there are no text editing or style options whatsoever. The sheet itself is also stripped of any elements, such as word or character counter, page alignment options, and more.

You have the possibility to use an open function. However, with no indication as to what file types are supported, you can go ahead and try your luck with different text files, but it seems like even TXT is too much to ask for.

There’s also a save component so you don’t lose content. On the other hand, this save dialog allows you to specify target file format, which can only be TXT, even if these types can’t be opened.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that yummytexteditor leaves more to be desired overall, coming equipped with an incredibly poor set of features. The fixed window size can easily get frustrating, while the lack of even basic text edit, or enhancement options can make you look for alternatives.
