What would that be for each OS?

Linux: Kate (at least if using KDE; which one would it be for GTK / Gnome?)

macOS: TextMate?

Windows: Notepad++?

For GNOME, the project's native text editor is: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-text-editor

It is significantly less featureful than Kate or your other apps though.

Can also recommend CotEditor for macOS as a Notepad++ replacement. Don't know how "programmable" it is or what even falls under that label.

I use Kate on Windows as well.

I really love the Documents Tree plugin and could never go back to old style tabs.
