I fondly remember one of my very first editors I used to start coding as a kid was Notepad++, almost a decade ago.
It was simple, minimal so that it didn't take much of the precious internet bandwidth downloading and space in my parents computers,
it still kept a balance on being powerful enough so that you could install a wide range of plugins provided, heck there was even a plugin that could play tetris.
