I’ve been looking for a good editor for Mac for a while -- one that feels native (Mac-assed) and modern. I do most of my coding in Xcode and I'm happy with it for iOS development. But there are text files and Markdown files and YAML files and other files to edit, and Xcode feels too heavy most of the time. So, nostr friends, what do you recommend?

BBEdit is the gold standard for macOS

I use vscode but I keep meaning to try out zed, it’s by the creator of Atom which became vscode. https://zed.dev

I would recommend neovim but I don't know if that would fit your definition of modern :) Zed also looks pretty interesting although I haven't tried it yet.

Sublime is really lightweight and supports plugins. It’s my go to text editor when I need something in between vi and an IDE.

I'm so old, I still use "vi" for all my editing. I have all the commands committed to muscle memory after 40 years so I don't ever have to think about how to do stuff with the editor. My brain only has to think about what has to be done, and my fingers type on auto-pilot.
