Hacker Fantastic Nov 21, 2022
I moved from gVim to Atom as a cross-platform text editor a few years ago, have just learned that they are "sunsetting" the editor. I am a big fan of VSCode and Visual Studio in general, XCode on MacOS but these are more fully-featured IDE's. What text editors will run on Windows, Linux and MacOS that offered the same flexibility as Atom? Seeking recommendations before I just go back to GTK+Vim and die a little inside. More info on the sunset for Atom 😢 https://github.blog/2022-06-08-sunsetting-atom/
Sunsetting Atom

We are archiving Atom and all projects under the Atom organization for an official sunset on December 15, 2022.

@hackerfantastic It's a +1 from me for VS Code too. You can run it lean if necessary. But I have it open all day long, with many plugins and it is as swift to open files as Notepad++ (slower from a standing start of course). Definitely one of the best products ever to come from Redmond.

Nothing open source and cross platform comes close, IMHO (other than Atom). But for something completely different, you could try SciTE?
