Reception
Crimson Editor has been extensively reviewed and well received. It has been described as a very good editor and pseudo-IDE interface for programmers to use. It has been highlighted that it has a good set of features, syntax highlighting for lots of formats, and includes integrated FTP. However, there are some memory issues with several (full project) files, and it sometimes crashes.
