What are the best Linux text editors?

Fast even in low spec systems where running firefox+electron based text editor would lag like hell.

I only used Neovim for a short time, and didn't expect it to replace Emacs, my current goto "text editor". It didn't, but it left me very impressed, regardless. I wouldn't be surprised if Neovim replaces Vim as the arch rival of Emacs in the future. From the little I've used of it,...

I'd even argue Vim is an IDE: integrated debugging, code completion, searching, cross-file refactoring, lint checks, you name it; Vim does it.

Atom is a very well designed text editor, but chokes consistently on larger files. Startup is slow compared to other text editors such as Sublime, along with using a lot of memory due to how it's built on Electron.

Works everywhere and with everything.
