> One that isn't tied to a specific platform, or preferably even a specific company, and that I trust will still be around until I'm done programming. That is Geany[0]: no opinions, no company affiliations, no editor wars. It has been around forever, works on everything, and is open-source.

After trying a bunch of GUI text editors in Linux and on the Mac I gotta say that to me, Geany is the best. Source: about 2 years ago
Have you tried Geany? It's based on Scintilla, just like Notepad++ is (although that's an implementation detail that you don't really need to know to use either of them), which helps it to feel very similar. Source: about 2 years ago
Check out Geany. It's lightweight, cross platform, open source, and supports multiple languages. The download is only 20MB or so. I'm not sure about a keyboard shortcut for comments though. Link: https://geany.org/. Source: about 2 years ago

On the one hand, Emacs is a very flexible platform powered by Lisp. Users can change and extend to their needs, make smaller adjustments on the fly. That’s the source of its attractiveness and longevity. On the other hand, it seems to look confusing, use archaic terminology, takes time to setup a dev environment comparable to VSC. Elisp has its problems and disliked by many users. It is slowly loses its appeal... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
