Vscode? Near instant start times. Macros? Standard column select with just alt.

Sublime? Honestly I can't remember as it's been a while since i used it.

Gedit? 100s ROM standard text operations such as line trims, case replacement, line ending replacement, find in files, replace in files, replace via regex in files, split window of same file, auto save non-saved files, show whitespace from tool bar, opening of very large files quickly, code folding, line numbers shown by default, probably wouldn't print errors when executed in the background on a fresh or updated install for the last 10 years necessitating the redirecting of all output streams thereby hiding possible issues.

And I actually kinda like gedit...

Waiting for the "if we'd all just use emacs" folks to show up.
