I recently went on a spree to find a alternative for VSCodium which I am using. Tried Emacs, Lite-XL, Kate. And ended up liking Emacs and Lite-XL.
Emacs just blows any text editor out of the water with respect to functionalities IMO. The only problem is that it's just too hard to get used to. Not to mention the keybindings are from jurassic park era. Keybindings before ctrl+c and ctrl+v for copy and paste were even a thing. Found everything unnecessarily hard and you have to relearn a lot of things. After using it for almost a month, I moved on. Not because it is bad. But because I didn't get settled with it even after almost a month. And I ran out of time. Still can't deny that...
Orgmode is mindblowing.
Magit is crazy.
Lite-XL is fast and minimal. It's is my ideal choice and I use it whenever I can. Trying it out made me learn a lot about text editors. It needs a little more tools and functionality support is all. And it is getting there as far as I can tell. Also, you can extend it easily with Lua. I ended up writing stuff in Lua even though I didn't know Lua. So I am pretty sure anybody can if they really wanted to.
While I had to come back to VSCodium, I still use Lite-XL as my secondary text editor. Oh, and their community is really nice. :)
The only other text editor I want to try out now is NeoVim. It has good support AFAIK. It uses Lua for plugins, so it's an excuse to play around with Lua outside of Lite-XL. All I need now is some time. :)
I'd second what @unsungnovelty said. It's certainly worth a try if you've a mind to get creative. I'm tempted to start writting some overlays for gopls for it just so i can start seeing how difficult it would be to replace something like VSCod[e|ium]
Lite-XL is a continuation of Lite text editor. With an emphasis on convenience and functionality. You should try it if you have time. It is a really good text editor.

Never heard of Lite-XL, and reading it was write mostly in LUA makes me happy :D
