I don't need anything more than a simple text editor. Notepad worked fine for a long time, but the bloat is real. I tried a bunch of replacement editors, but none really scratched that Notepad itch. Surprisingly, I'm now a fan of MS Edit:

It's very simple and here's hoping they don't bloat this one out, too.

I like kde's Kate. A bit more than notepad but not as crazy as notepad++. More like notepad 2
