Ocasionally I use CherryTree, but normally the inbuild Markdown notepad of the browser
I tried it for about 5 minutes and didn't see its appeal. It looked like a chore and not a help. I get really tired of needing to learn a bunch of new software. I need to get sh*t done instead.

I only code in meat
I use Atom, because I like the "everything is a package" philosophy. I'm also starting to try out emacs.
mainly neovide
plain Vim with necessary extensions/plugins...
Same. I've been doing some android dev and have to use android studio, and i've really been missing vim. Never having your hands leave the keyboard is so much faster.
I used Sublime Text for a very long time, but I've been using neovim for a year now and I really like it. ST is an amazing piece of software, but I enjoy working on neovim more. I use IntelliJ from time to time in Java or Kotlin projects because they are simply unparalleled.
Switched to Geany recently, was using Notepadqq for a long time.
"Cream is gVim, but with many features that should make editing easier for Vim beginners"
i will try this out - - rationale :
.1) only 1/3 of "Kate" 's footprint (16MB download, 74MB on HDD ) on xubuntu 20 lts
.2) code folding (collapse and expand) and so many features even before plugins.
just yell at me if this is a huge mistake !
Kate and anything KDE is HUGEEEEEE. I hate KDE and won't look twice at any program now that starts with the dreaded K.

I do not code, so take what I say in that context. I use Geany because it does many things - and a guy who won a coding competition says he uses only Geany. Geany is far lighter than Atom (which is owned now by Microsoft). Geany handles markdown fairly well and I use mostly markdown. But, plan to learn a tiny bit of code. For terminal, i use use nano or something similar called micro. Both nano and micro can open/use markdown (.md) or .txt, and, though they cannot open .rtf, if i use Ranger terminal file manager, they can show the preveiwed contents of an .rtf file, but cannot open it to edit it that way. Geany can open .rtf if it has no graphics - so text only. If there is formatting added, though, it is an ugly sight. I am testing software on a slow HDD in order to have a very light, fast system and Geany does fine on it.
CudaText.

VS Codium is good, I also use a lot of NeoVIM in the terminal.
I don't really do coding, the bulk of my text editing is from changing values in games. Sublime Text is great for that.
Sublime text still has better performance than nearly every other non console text editor out there. I remember someone did some testing and sublime lasted the longest before a crash on really large text files.
acme from plan9port, emacs, sometimes vi depending on the situation.
"Acme: A User Interface for Programmers"
.1) it runs under Linux,
.2) it's many "Windose" are not M$'s
First impression: somewhat like emacs?

used vim for like twenty years and then switched to nano
(Note for those who downvoted me: Get a life, you weirdos. I'll use whatever editor I want.)
Not downvoting but I'm puzzled. Why switching to nano? After 20 years of vim you probably are an advanced user. After getting some of the goodies of vim, I cannot understand how nano can be appealing. Care to elaborate?
Depends on the use case. I used to think nano was stupid too until I tried to use it for real, and I realized that it is among the best designed editors I've ever used. Yes, it is more simple and don't offer all the functionality of vim. It might be able to do a couple things vim can't, but I would have to double check on that. (Like emacs, nano can re-wrap hard-wrapped text to a specific width, which I'm not sure is easy to do in vim.)
For certain edits or tasks, vim might end up being more trouble than it's worth.
I waffle between nvim and Kate, depending what I'm working on.
Lots of people mentioning vim and vscode. Know that there is a vscode extension aptly named vim that brings vim keybindings and capabilities to vscode. It's a really nice mix!
Sometimes gedit, or neovim, or gnome-builder, depending the use case and what I want to use at the time.
