What less popular text editors do you like or should have a shout out more often? What stuff do you do with it? - Lemmy.world

Linux people seem to be obsessed with text editors. If I’m on windows I use notepad and on linux I use Kate or whatever the default is. What am I missing out on by not trying out different editors?

Nothing really. Kate does a lot of stuff. If you’re not a software developer, it doesn’t really matter. Different text editors have differing levels of support for various programming languages and some people like all the key bindings so they don’t have to take their hands off the mouse.

But if you’re just editing plain text and you’re not a keyboard only kind of user, it doesn’t really matter.
