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 guess they all have living plugin ecosystems, but none of them are missing support for anything big afaik.

    VSCode shouldn’t be used, its an electron text editor made by microsoft with telemetry bundled in.

    vim and emacs are both more versatile because you can use them for remote development too.
