    I'm trying to install my favorite text editor Leafpad (http://tarot.freeshell.org/leafpad/). I love it because it is a no-nonsense fast and simple text editor. Source: about 1 year ago
  • elementary OS should ship with a simple text editor
    My own personal choice is Leafpad (http://tarot.freeshell.org/leafpad/), but if someone were to fork Code and strip it down to the bare minimum that'd be ideal. The old Scratch icon could even be used. Source: over 2 years ago
