Editplus is een tekst-editor waarin een aantal handige features voor programmeurs zitten. Zo is er syntax highlighting voor HTML, CSS, PHP, ASP, Perl, C/C++, Java, JavaScript en VBScript, en heeft het een ingebouwde web-browser en FTP-client, zodat HTML-documenten en Java-applets kunnen worden bekeken en geupload. Andere handige hebbedingetjes zijn auto-completion, verticale blokselectie en uitgebreide zoek en vervang mogelijkheden.
