Waf DotNetPad

There are plenty of code editors out there for programmers to take advantage of, each offering a feature set suitable for a specific type of work style.

Waf DotNetPad is a very simple and quick code editor for C# and Visual Basic. It offers a relatively limited set of features, but it still comes with syntax highlighting and auto-completion, and it sports a very intuitive UI.

It is clear that Waf DotNetPad was designed to provide you with a simpler, more intuitive alternative to other code editors, and it certainly looks to fit the bill. It features a minimalistic user interface, and it has a very simple layout.

You can work on multiple scripts at the same time, as they are displayed in separate tabs within the main window. There are no unnecessary interface elements to distract you, something many users will likely appreciate.

While writing code, the application can help you complete statements automatically by offering suggestions while you are typing. Syntax highlighting is also supported, making the code much easier to read.

Waf DotNetPad compiles code in the background while you are writing and provides immediate feedback to help you find potential issues as quickly as possible. Of course, you can also compile the code and see the results in the Output panel.

Lastly, the program provides you with some handy code examples, which can be inserted with a couple of mouse clicks. This will probably be especially useful for less experienced users.

When it comes down to it, Waf DotNetPad is a relatively basic code editor for users who don’t need more advanced features when writing code. It does the job, and we liked the minimalistic UI, but some darker color themes would certainly be welcome.
