Compared to Emacs and VI: The world has standardized on different UI conventions, leaving these 2 in the dust. Text editing should use the conventions as laid out by e.g. windows notepad: Arrow keys, standard keys for cut/copy/paste. The difference is not only shortcuts but the whole GUI paradigm.

Comparex to Jetbrains:. It is 1 tool that can deal with all text processing, not a different product for each language. It can deal with a PHP+ Java+C hybrid, including some javascript and SQL.

Vs Jetbrains and Sublime: Free. This also means no license management and no credit card unsafety (I am not in the USA) or payment processor madness.

Linux has no real notepad++ competitor. Kate comes close, but vscode comes even closer.
