Text editors, again

Install Gentoo

Kate is a good alternative

Never used Kate before. It appears that KDE devs even ported it on Windows.
Does it have autocomplete, text highlighting and all that stuff?

There is no "best" text editor. Whatever you become familiar with first will be what you end up preferring. Use a different metric for deciding what to start with, if you are unsure. Here is what most developers reported using in 2016 on stack overflow (become familiar with this website if you're remotely serious about coding):

Pick one of these and get started on a project instead of wasting time on something this trivial.

i use notepad++ for all coding and text projects.

Most of these fags are hobbyists and will never make something useful so don't bother helping them.

My co-workers love VSCode. I think it feels sluggish/heavy compared to Sublime.

I used VS Code for half a year but I got tired of its sluggishness. A text editor shouldnt take more than a fraction of a second to open.

Now I use sublime.

Also I dont like how VS Code tries to be too smart and messes with your input, like parentheses.

Probably atom even though it's bloated as fuck, just because all the different plugins available are great.
Being able to have a linter and other utilities like a colour picker that inserts RGB / Hex values into your code for you from within the program is super useful.
There's plugins that automatically validate your code using the W3C website too.

ed is the standard text editor.

Yes, it does. Just try it. Also, it takes no more than an hour to go through vimtutor/vitutor (I don't remember the proper command).

vim
