#SciTE, it's small, runs on Linux and Windows and has no issues opening huge files. It can be extended with scripts and it has a nice second pane for script output.
Doom Emacs. It's got all the features I need while when I was using vim I had to use other apps for kanban, time management, etc. Now it's all in Emacs. And Doom Emacs as I got tired of fiddling with my configs to make stuff work and now it just ready made and works.
I like nano because I'm still a noob and it's the more familiar one. I don't like vim because of the same, but vim seems to like me, because once started it doesn't want to leave. I'll test the ones people mention here.
It depends on the use case. For serious work: VS code. If I just need to open one file, then usually terminal + vim. For distraction free writing of documentation, I prefer apostrophe, an open source Typora clone.
100% NeoVim! I feel restrained by any other text editor. The extensibility is incredible and the vim motions and shortcuts are second nature at this point. When I do have to use VSCodium, I immediately install the Vim plugin

On dekstop > #kate
#Vim it's the best of course and powerful but I don't want to memorize 50 or more commands just to type echo "hello world"
