> I just want a fast programmable text editor with a native GUI and good defaults. What would that be for each OS? Linux: Kate (at least if using KDE; which one would it be for GTK / Gnome?) macOS: TextMate? Windows: Notepad++?

For GNOME, the project's native text editor is: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-text-editor https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-text-editor It is significantly less featureful than Kate or your other apps though.
