50 Linux Text Editors You Should Know About

Very interesting to see Sublime Text so near the bottom, but maybe the order is not an opinion. Even more interesting to discover Lapce and Zed … going to try those out now. Sublime Text is great but leaves certain things to be desired.

VSCodium is lacking alongside Visual Studio Code since that is the de-Microsofted version ( which like most de-Googled things still has traces )

Watch out for telemetry!


While Sublime Text is much faster than VSCodium … I can still feel the lag when dealing with >50 files in over >5 instances :face_vomiting:

And the console view is ancient, and an afterthought. The plugin ecosystem is extremely ‘meh’ and the entire aesthetic of the editor is just south of minimalist and over in the realm of cut-off-nose-to-spite-face which is sad to me, having to spend so much of my life in there…

Anyway, discovering this list and searching for developer popped up at least two promising options, and from a programmer perspective I will definitely report back. Right now the sheer massiveness of these codebases is breaking the entire idea of the IDE, and then you get into ‘AI’ ( rename pending ) alongside that and it is just not a comfortable situation anymore. Like that “ugly beard” stage between stubble and full.

Did you not shave?
I’M WORKING ON IT!
