Never upgrade western software

Everything only gets worse in modern western culture, so if you upgrade any software from modern culture, the upgraded version will only be worse. I just experienced this with UtraEdit which I had recommended in this sub. I was trying to save some Chinese text as UTF-8 and couldn't figure out how. When I looked at the online documentation, it suggested using a feature that only a newer version has. So I upgraded. The newer version is completely flaky, just the kind of behavior I expect from modern overcomplicated crap. I upgraded from a 2013 version to the latest 2019 version. This again shows the rapid decay of modern culture.

As one example, when I double-click on text it is supposed to select the word. With the new version, sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't. I contacted their support and they responded:

Thank you for sending this data. Using your settings and sample file, I was able to determine what the key variable seems to be here. If a line is proceeded by tab characters, and part of the line is soft-wrapped, dobule-click to select a word doesn't work. I will notify our developers so that they can correct this in the next update, and we'll be sure to let you know as soon as that is available. I apologize for the inconvenience this issue has caused you.

Obviously overcomplicated crap is the cause. I need to find a new editor. Thankfully this text editor is one of the last modern western software that I use for development, and soon I will be rid of it.
