> Sublime is way too heavy weight

Damn, sublime is what I use as my light weight editor ha. Never had trouble opening (relatively) large files.

More in terms of UI.

Notepad++ has what you need to edit a file and not much else, but it also has a decent plugin system.

ST almost has no UI when opening a single file (no sidebar etc), would be curious how it could be more minimal.

Check out the view menu. Pretty much all the UI bar the actual text you’re editing can be easily hidden.
