- Installation "just worked" (how it should be!).
- It does what it says on the tin, allowing you to view & edit files in hex.
- You get to see the text (in any charset you choose) as well as raw hex.
- The ability to look at _any_ file (regardless of format) is a valuable facility (and one Eclipse should have by default!).
Bad points:
- [Functional] It loads the entire file into memory (and not terribly efficiently), so you can't use it on large files (e.g. I found it crashed on 70meg files, but worked ok on 1meg files).
- [Cosmetic] Rather than add itself to the editors listed in the "Open with..." right-mouse-button-menu, it adds itself to the main right-mouse-button-menu.
- [Cosmetic] One can't select bytes by clicking on the text display, and selecting a byte in the hex area doesn't highlight the equivalent character in the text display, so one has to manually count.
Overall, it's a useful bit of functionality to have.
