JetBrains IDEs, though that might be a little heavy for some light editing. Not sure if their Fleet editor is electron based, but my guess is it’s not. That one should be more lightweight.
I have used them in the past. They’re definitely pretty cool and do their job well. Unfortunately, unless I’m wrong, most of their offerings[1] are not open source. I believe this also applies to Fleet.
My apologies for not making it clear in the post, but I do prefer open source whenever I can afford it.
Finally, there’s a lot not to like about electron, but I feel like JetBrains’ use of JVMs isn’t a lot better.
Regardless, I will note it down as I intend to test them all out anyways :P .
Please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong in any of the above. Thank you!
Don’t quote me on this, but I believe their open source options are limited to the community editions of IntelliJ IDEA and PyCharm. Which isn’t too bad as both of them should support a plethora of languages (including Markdown). ↩︎

Well, bundling a full browser and using a mature and popular runtime are very different things in my book.
But yeah, if you want an open source tool, JetBrains is not the tool to use.
Thank you for clarifying that distinction for me!
Thank you for confirming it for me! Regardless, your recommendation has been much appreciated!
