I love Notepad++ but yea, zero confidence in that dev right now. Its programma non grata on my machines at the moment.

Theyre also very political and giving them access to my machine now feels even more risky.

If you'd like a lightweight replacement, here's Kate. It's somewhere around a zed featureset, a little less.

A key benefit of it is that it's not an electron app. It's an old C++ app that's still just chuggin' along.
