Hey, Brian. You hooked me. Then I went to give it a quick try on Win 10. Grr.
I’ll not write a diatribe about MSFT software and just say I need to work on Doom’s dependencies before I can clone the Doom repository and start working on it. It might be a while. I many todos stacked up right now. Please don’t interpret lack of action as lack of interest. It’s on the list.

hey there,
I like sublime or notepad++. I think its what ever you prefer the look of to be fair!
For a while I used ATOM for everything with the occasional use of Brackets for different things. I have VSCode but I am not feeling the love.
I sometimes change the firmware on some devices and I have found sublime to be a half decent editor. Although I have to say normally in terminal I tend to use nano one hell of a lot or vi.
I think you gotta try a few and decide which you think tickles your fluffy bits and knocks the blocks out of the grey area.

No problem.
I finally got Doom Emacs 100% up to date on all of my main system distros.

Another editor that I had “ignored” for at least the first TEN YEARS of existence, Neovim, a.k.a. nvim, has recently advanced to Version 0.10.
I don’t know why they are so “conservative” in their version numbers. I’ve found it to be VERY solid. In routine usage it can be used just like vi or vim; if you understand Lua or you use one of the many available videos on how to set it up, it looks attractive as well as functional.

I’ve mentioned nedit, an old project replaced by xnedit.
It’s neither modal nor does it require a lot of Ctrl or Esc sequences.
I use it , mostly for writing, not coding, but it could be used for either.
I believe we also mentioned Geany. It may be one of the most efficient IDE text editors; it’s a very effective lean editor in any case.
For those who have to leave the hand stretch of Ctrl key and Esc key sequences these two may be just what you’ve been looking for.
