So I’ve been trying to find a text editor that’s blazing fast with as little features as possible that doesn’t look like it was designed in the '90s.

I would like something that when I click on my files it opens almost instantly and only displays text in a notepad without any buttons tools, or just the bare minimum (like create a new file or something like that). I want this to read .txt files and that’s it, if I’m working on a writing I’d use LibreOffice and if I’m writing some code I’d use Atom.

    I suggest lite-xl.

    It’s a very new cross platform development based on SDL2 for graphics and using Lua. It’s quite minimalistic but still has the neccessary editor functions, plus you can write plugins in Lua if something is really missing for you.
