BBEdit. I’ve been through a few… TextMate, Sublime. Used various IDEs heavily at various points. Used VS Code. Used Emacs (+ accumulated a long .emacs). Used Vim. BBEdit is the general go-to for me on the Mac. On Linux, it’s Emacs. In the terminal, it’s Vim. Back in the 1990s, BBEdit completely outclassed IDEs and most other editors. I’d even have a project open in an IDE, but be editing the source code in BBEdit. BBEdit could send commands to the open IDE to compile or run your project. Other editors have mostly caught up to 1990s BBEdit, so it’s not such a big deal any more, but it’s still a solid editor.
