I went directly from NotePad to LeafPad and never skipped a beat or felt the need to look at anything else.

I can work much, much faster with it than anything else and could have a screen full of different instances of it open at once with working with markup and feel right at home..

Decades ago, I purchased a c compiler, Mark Williams C, and it included an editor, microemacs. I used that for several years. Now I just stick with using nano or mousepad.

I really like the gnome text editor, it's simple and it supports syntax highlighting. When I really need a file explorer and a terminal I use VSCodium.
As for command line editors, I really like the idea of Kakoune, but I never get around to learn its bindings and config language. Even nano's config file seem complicated (and this is what I end up using most often).
