I've been using Kate for long time. I try other things but seem to gravitate back to Kate.

It's relatively resource efficient and fast, very full-featured, open source, and I can use it on different OSes and it's pretty much the same everywhere. Also it's GUI, and has a standard GUI UX.

I've never really had any problems with it at all until I started using it on ARM MacOS, where there were some weird bugs with filenames during saves (no corruption or anything, but would default to weird things and occasionally crash if the "wrong" filenames were used); but then the most recent major version seemed to fix all the problems.

I didn't know I could use it on MacOS. I recently started a new job where they have nothing but Mac, so I've been looking for a text editor that can do what Kate does. Everything seems to want to do 101 things before basic text editing, rather than just be a simple text editor with optional functionality, so I'm really excited to have Kate installed. I'm really hoping I don't run into too many issues as I've used Kate for years on my home & work setups and would really like to continue using it on mac now.
