I've been using nano for CLI stuff and VS Code for coding, but I'm looking at VS Codium now. Looks very interesting.

Been trying graphical text editors here and there but the vi-emulators just aren't Neovim.
I'll make myself unpopular with Sublime Text and VSCode. 😆
On the console, however, I actually use VIM almost exclusively.
VS Codium is good, I also use a lot of NeoVIM in the terminal.
I used atom a lot but ever since microsoft bought it, I'm moving to vscodium. And Kate for quick file editing
Textmate
Neovim and GNOME Builder.
neovim
For now I'm using gedit and nano, still learning how to use and configure vim to be a viable text editor.
When I need to use the terminal I use micro, it's very simple to use with the classic ctrl+s to save. Otherwise kate.
I use neovim with little plugins. But I still need to learn how it works properly (I'm really lost but at least I know how to close it) I want to turn it on to an IDE. VS Codium is a great option too
Have been using Emacs for over a decade, and I'm fairly happy with it.
I use Atom, because I like the "everything is a package" philosophy. I'm also starting to try out emacs.
i want to "collapse//expand" indented parts in programs ... someone recommended Atom is it good ? the old "Kate" (2010) i used was buggy on this use. See also : Source-code editor
Edit : Since many of you here use Kate, updating my decade old Kate may solve this for me.
I do like Atom, although there's no other editor that I've used as much to compare (except maybe saying that I find it as good as a tex editor as TeXStudio, TeXMaker and TeXShop). It does allow to collapse/expand
I use kate now and it works fantastically! It has code collapse actually, and I dont feel like it is buggy now. Also, a kde project :p
KWrite is the new Kate (?) :
1 from Kate's web page
2 only a fraction of Kate's bloat
3 it runs great ! "cream" (from vim gVim), is also small but is broken on my system.
4 KWrite has all bells and whistles (+ vi-mode)
But isn't VSCodium just a build of the Microsoft approach to OSS?
Or is that your way of referring to VSCode? I don't even think of it as OSS...
Personally, I mostly use Kate. Sometimes Vim for quick edits on the terminal or over SSH.
And at $DAYJOB, we use the JetBrains IDEs, which I hate in many ways, but they are competent IDEs, and definitely blow VS Code out of the water, if you want features.

I waffle between nvim and Kate, depending what I'm working on.
I use Vim very often, but work recently bought me a license for PyCharm and I'm loving it.
I suppose what you'll want to use depends on your use case. For what I use it for—mainly bash, python, and terraform—PyCharm works very well.

mainly neovide
... "GitHub - neovide/neovide: No Nonsense Neovim Client in Rust"
so : neovim contains nonsense 😆 !
