Rons Data Edit - Feature Comparison

Rons Data Edit is a new modern CSV Editor, but why did we create a new one?

Rons Data Edit is a new modern CSV Editor, built upon the design and success of its predecessor, Rons CSV Editor.

Why did we create a new product rather than update Rons CSV Editor?

Over the lifetime of Rons CSV Editor we have received a huge amount of feedback from our customers, most of which we acted upon. Recently, however, it became clear with changing technology and customer expectations, that we would not be able to continue to keep up with requests, without a re-write of the editor.

The result is Rons Data Edit, re-built with a new look and feel, new data storage, new views, close integration with Rons Data Stream and many new features.

For reference some (but not all) of the new and updated features are outlined below.
