I been using Helix recently and it's good. I went vs code > vim > helix. Made switch from vim only because it required more work to set up while Helix ships with lsp by default and has a lot of themes included. But Helix is built in Rust which makes me suspicious.
 
VS chode.
Being autistic with tech I need to feel special, but vscode is the best text editor ever in terms of usability and power. But I got into vim because editing over ssh is terrible in vscode. You might think the SSH extension is easy to use, it is, but in reality that shit downloads 5GB+ of extensions/cache/something and that folder only grows. I ran out of space on my remote server and that made me switch. Now I just use rclone.
>inb4 just use git
Yes but the code I was writing needed certain libraries so I had to compile it on the remote machine, and I don't want to commit code before I test it so I just sync project folder.
IntelliJ IDEA

I never used stock vim, I just followed a YewTube tutorial on using one of those premade configs. It was for neovim and pretty neat. But I like when things work out of the box, like in vs code, so I tried Helix and it has a file browser, tabs, auto completion by default, tons of useful shortcuts for navigation and reading documentation. It's default settings are amazing.
 
Just windows notepad or editpad.org
Why the actual fuck would you need to use anything else? I barely use these anyways
