Contents
Mint 20
sed
default editor, only has the awful hamburger menu.
mousepad
buggy. has tabbed interface and standard menu bar. no spell checker. sometimes won't save text files complaining of a stream error.
xed aka text editor
tabbed and standard menu bar. Annoying habit of complaining about file has changed when file resides on SMB share.

cudatext
disqualified, flathub only in software manager.
nedit
motif based. won't install from repository, returns error.
legacy (older trials)

- + tabbed open files

- + gtk native
xed
