@dragonmouth, I agree with you. “23 Linux Text Editors” might be appropriate, since one or two people challenged the “open source” licensing of at least one of the entries.

For those who loved nedit, xnedit resurrected and improved upon many things found in nedit. Xnedit (1.6.2 last I looked), has been updated often in recent months. https://github.com/unixwork/xnedit has the current version; highly recommend it!

@Amgadelsaiegh,

Indeed, the Light Table project has been archived since 2022. While it’s unfortunate to see it no longer actively developed, there are still many other open-source text editors for Linux that continue to grow.
