TLDR I think gedit is great.
@cj thanks! your replies on here made it feel like it'd be worthwhile to reflect more on this process in writing, and I'm glad I did. grateful for the interest and the close read!
@akstuhl This was a great post Andy — thanks for sharing your journey on finding a text editor.
The legibility point you made is _so_ crucial — especially with something you're using day to day. As someone at my work says: "Know thy tools!" (but even that can be tricky)
It's also great that you've highlighted the academic side of using text editors which honestly feels underrepresented & unacknowledged (I honestly didn't think of it until you've brought it up).
Thanks again!
