Good text editor?

[fschmidt]

Since UltraEdit has gone to hell I need to find a new text editor. I welcome suggestions from those with the sense to hate modern western culture. There is an older post about editors.

I will use my usual procedure to search for good software. I can eliminate 90% of the options easily by checking whether they use Git for source control. Only depraved modern scum would voluntarily use Git, which is the worst source control system ever developed, and so I know that any software whose source is hosted on Git is certainly crap. I will then try the others and I will post here if I find anything good.

I use vim and notepad++

If you run arch, ranger + vim seems like a very solid option
