Things that I believe in:

TabsVsSpaces: I believe that tabs should be used over spaces when you write code.
Tabs should be 4 spaces long (especially, by default).
Sometimes spaces should be preferred over tabs (mostly in plain text files).
Vim vs EMACS HolyWars is nonsense: they both have good features, but ultimately they suck.
I have thoughts on TheIdealEditor and think about designing one (not developing, yet?).

Text editors that I used the most:

Text editors that I ever used:

Vi / Vim -- didn't like
Visual Studio Code -- didn't like
nano -- I like this one, prefer over Vi/Vim? when I use terminal on Linux
NotepadPlusPlus -- for awhile, until discovered Sublime Text
SynWrite - used for awhile
TDE -- really love this one. Discovered here (texteditors.org)
CotEditor -- used on Mac once, but had in my bookmarks for years
Should I mention TurboC? I mean, it's specifically for programming and running C code. Anyway
a lot of others that I checked out for once and can't remember right now

I would like to try out a text editor that's:

written in Rust
isn't 800mb in size (like emacs). In other words - lightweight. Less than 40mb would be nice
keybindings that make sense
user-friendly settings
powerful, but avoids spammy UI (like Sublime Text)
community-driven

Right now 4coder seems interesting.

 I want to thank RonPerrella for this website and, of course, other fellow contributors, too!
