Papel

Papel version 4.0
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 4
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

This is an excellent application. As stated in the description, it really is unique and greatly enhances my creative process. Overall, I find it very easy to use. I like the uncluttered user interface and the ease with which I can create custom themes. I also like the fact there is a keyboard shortcut for just about everything. The application is updated regularly and some fantastic new features have been introduced since I started using it at version 1.5. (Though in version 4, the Compile feature now adds the Papel title to the compilation-- something I wish it wouldn't do. If possible, I would like request to have this optional, but I can't find the author contact information.) Most importantly, the program does what it is "supposed" to do. I respect the fact that it does not try to be a combination word processor, text formatter, etc. Instead, it provides a well designed tool to support the creative writing process. Great work!

Crimson Editor
  • Freeware
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  Nice application  qright

Crimson Editor version 3.60
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 3
  • Ease of use: 4
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 4

Recently, I have begun learning C++ and tried several different text editors. Of them, I like Crimson Editor the best. True, while not as feature extensive as some of the other editors I've tried, it certainly has everything I need to do what I need to do. More importantly for me, Crimson editor is smallest, fastest and least resource hungry of those I tried. What really draws me to Crimson Editor is the simplicity of its user interface. I'm not overwhelmed with a dozen different toolbars when I start the program. I think the menu items are very well planned out and I can always find the options I want quickly and conveniently. Also, I find customizing the syntax highlighting to be very easy and the configurable user tools very useful.

WinRoll
  • Freeware
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  Convenient and useful  qright

WinRoll version 2.0
  • Interface: 3
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 4
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

I think this is a great app. It uses very little memory (about 168k on my system), yet provides a tremendous amount of functionality-- transparency, "windowshading", Always On Top, send to back, minimize to tray, etc-- all accessible via the existing windows titlebar buttons(minimize, maximize and close). Program configuration is very straight-forward and easy to understand. Not so intuitive, though, is that the Help file is essentially part of the About window. There, by mousing over different window elements you get usage instructions. WinRoll works as expected with just about all of my apps, hasn't crashed on me, or caused any system errors. Also, my personal experience has been that the author is very responsive to user feedback/questions. And perhaps most amazing of all... it's free. No banners, no nag windows, no registration required, no crippled functionality, just free.
