My favorite is Kate because it's less of an IDE and more of a text editor with side panes for the project tree and a terminal to run the program. Easy enough to set up a hot key to save-build-run. I think that's all I need?

    Right there with you, I'm on the admin side of things, so the time it takes the app to start is a bigger deal to me than the full featured-ness of VS Codium, but provides contextual highlighting and some quality-of-life coding features that you won't find it text editors.
