SynWrite combines great ideas from many well known editors into a single, freely available product. It's a complete environment for Web workers, coders and writers.

SynWrite's many features include macro recording, code highlighting, code folding, multi-caret editing and regular expressions. (See feature list below.)

You can easily extend the editor with plugins written in the Python scripting language. Many plugins are available here, and you can write your own.

You can easily configure it to your needs and even take it with you on a USB flash drive. It's free, open-source software.

SynWrite is superceded by CudaText. In short:
  • CudaText is cross-platform.
  • CudaText has lot of optimizations (startup time, editing speed, multi-threaded parser).
  • CudaText is open source, while SynWrite is 30% closed, and is hard to compile by other people.
  • The developer has much more control on CudaText codebase (SynWrite has big portions of legacy code).
  • CudaText features and Python API are more powerfull.
