Sublime, Atom, VSCode, and now Zed are all GUI-based. That's not bad - but I prefer the terminal (and I find tmux + ssh very convenient). I guess it's a matter of personal taste.

For terminal based, there are also many options but not so much in the direction of "VSCode style". They're mostly focused on being "vi-style". And also the huge file support isn't as good in any of the others that I've tried.

Vim and Emacs run in the terminal perfectly well.

    I'm a big emacs user for many years but the amount of config tweaking and package installation needed (for me) is too much. And I never made it past the elisp learning curve

      Genuinely curious why you're tweaking your configuration so frequently. I've been an emacs user for ten years now, and I've settled on a configuration that works. I hear this a lot, too, and I just can't figure out why people need to edit their .emacs file so much.
