  • Comment: SlickEdit is marketed for almost two decades (released by MicroEdge in 1988 [1]). In 1997 it obtained an award from Dr. Dobb's [2] (at this time, the award may not have been totally worthless). It was one of few editors running on exotics as OS/2.
If the article is kept the note how complicated the user interface became should be definitely preserved, it is spot on. The red links should be unlinked and there could be more about history rather than detailed listing of features in the last release. The current categorisation is joke.

  • Keep & cleanup - This one actually has some established history. Let's get some better sources than self-references. I'm sure they're out there. /Blaxthos 15:40, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep and cleanup. Right now the article is barely more than spam, but this is a venerable software /shareware package. --Dhartung | Talk 19:39, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep & cleanup. Recognized package with a large following and history. Just needs more info on both of these (especially history, of course). — Frecklefoot | Talk 23:04, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
