tbh what I want from a text editor:
not slopcoded
vi/vim-style modal editing
some kind of paredit thing (very much mandatory with how much Scheme/lisp code I edit)
syntax highlighting
basic unix commands like copy and move directly available in the editor’s command line (optional but highly appreciated)
runs in a terminal (could also do with a GUI if it’s not a massive pain in the ass, but I’d rather it runs in a terminal)
git integrations a la Fugitive would also be really nice, though I could live without it
