Hi Peter:

When I was doing web designing as a living, Notepad++ was one of my go to editors. Now I just use anything that is handy. ;-)

Bluefish, Geni, Gedit, Nano, MS Studio Code and so on...

Hmmm, my fave for years & for all langs has been notepad++, #10 on that 
list. Of the nine ahead of it on the list, I've tried Vim and Sublime 
Text, gave up on both.

I have not checked to see what environments this product supports. *nx for sure OSx and Windows? (...but with the Bash-shell access, that is not an issue.) Its main recommendation is that it is super small footprint, very fast and very easy to use.
