Just for fun and discovery.

Same as for distros and DE/WM.

Share your own, as an image, or just a written list. :)

Mine:

;) I didn't want to wait and see if @misty@lemmy.zip would make a text editor one. So I just made my own. :)

writing a text editor in a shell language is certainly... a choice. also this kinda feels like an ad for your own project.

anyway i've gone notepad, np++, eclipse, sublime, atom, vim, nvim, back to vim, then vis, then vim again, and now helix, which i'll hopefully stick with a while. worst has gotta be the GMod Wiremod Expression editor. honorable mention to acme.

    Don't use fin. It, like all my stuff, is scruffy.

    It's just honestly my fave (~ Would be weirder if I were writing it masochistically to not be my fave). Wrote it with intention of using it in the future.

    It's such a shame np++ doesn't exist on linux πŸ˜”

    gedit and kate are better alternatives honestly. and with their security practices i would rather be without.

    Interesting, what are their bad security practices?

    I have kate but it's way behind notepad++, IMO! Will check out gedit, thanks.

    they did their autoupdate through an unencrypted connection, without any verification, and just executed the payload locally. when pressed about it they added https but then it turned out they had no auth on the update server. it was a whole thing, took several years for them to correct and they complained every step.
