The cross-platform open source Kate Text Editor is a powerhouse of features
So many of us just use an editor for basic document or text file editing, but this editor does go way past that, and is also a very user-friendly graphical user interface too.
The editor has numerous plugins available to further extend that functionality. Apart from code formatting (as in for many coding languages), it also has sessions, colour schemes, debugging adaptors, move and splitting of views, a terminal, Git integration, snippets, and lots more.
You may say that VSCode also has this, but Kate is a lot simpler to navigate, and it is open source and will be around for a long time to come.
It's been my own go-to editor for as long as I've been using a KDE Desktop.
