Text editors
The Linux community has given us excellent text and source code editors. Many of them have been ported to Windows and macOS as well. Many such tools exist, but I present the most prominent ones in Manjaro’s official repositories. If you are not interested in SW development, use KWrite for simple text editing or Kate for more features, and skip the rest of this section.
Before going on, we must know what Integrated Development Environment (IDE) means. IDEs combine a proper code/text editor with tools for building and debugging SW integrated inside its GUI. They are made especially for SW development. I will review the list of editors and IDEs in four groups, and at the end of the section, I will provide a few general recommendations for different use cases.
Lightweight/simple editors
gedit has a simplistic look but supports syntax highlighting, word completion, spellcheck, a file browser panel, an embedded Terminal, a Python console, and other features....
