i think there are 3 main editors today, vim( or nvim) , emacs, vscode, i prefer to use nvim because everything vscode does nvim does it and it never leaves the terminal (formatting, linting, autocomplete, glorious themes, endless extension). just give it a weekend configuring it and a day or two learning the keybindings and you will never regret it. you will easily save 1.5 gb of ram and it is waaaaay much faster

Vim/emacs aren't really that beginner friendly. I tried to learn them but found opening a text editor like Kate much easier and faster
