There is not a noticeable difference performance wise considering the program startup time and text loading performance. The Intype text editor uses a tabbed interface to display multiple text documents in the same interface. Plugins – which are called bundles in the editor – are available for various programming languages to add better support in the editor. Support is build in for programming languages like C, PHP, Java and various other scripting languages like HTML, XML or CSS supporting language grammar snippets and additional features.

The project’s website contains downloads for additional bundles that can be added to the text editor. The editor is currently in alpha stage. It can be freely downloaded from the developer’s website. The FAQ states however that the editor will not be free once it is fully released.

Intype might be worth a look for users who use plain text editors for coding purposes. It does not however provide access to powerful new features or commands that other text editors like Notepad++ do not offer.
