try looking at a "modern" text editor; the one which appears to have the highest popularity is visual studio code.
It's an awful slow mess that cannot stop itself from triggering unsolicited popups, eating all your RAM and inserting characters you didn't type.
The reality is that this is the reality of programmers today, they want something that does a shitty work for them rather than be in control.
