I gave it a quick look and came away under the impression
U++ was mainly a
C(
++) IDE (
clang is the biggest part of its rather large heft).

I totally concur -- if only some savvy insider would strip away the more programming oriented elements, I'm quite sure
U++ could easily become a killer text processor/documentation manager.
Just look at all the related goodies in the documentation, namely its
RTF implementation (amusingly dubbed
Quixotic Text Format).
Here's some extra info for topic completeness:
Ultimate++ latest stable is v2020.2 (rev. 15260) released 2020-10-XX (changelog is at
www.ultimatepp.org/www$uppweb$Roadmap$en-us.html; source repo at
github.com/ultimatepp/ultimatepp; downloads at
upp.sf.net/).
U++ is a C++ cross-platform rapid application development framework focused on programmers productivity. It includes a set of libraries (GUI, SQL, etc.), and an integrated development environment.
Windows release is a simple archive .7z archive. Unpack to directory of your preference, then just run 'theide.exe'. U++ does not write anything to registry or outside its directory. The archive contains CLANG based Win32 toolchain and also SDL 2, OpenSSL, MySql and PostgreSQL client libraries. TheIDE will also setup Microsoft C++ compiler if it finds one. U++ minimum requirement is Windows 7 64 with latest patches for theide to run and Windows 7 64 or 32 with latest patches for compiled applications.
