It really frustrates me to see that all the new modern text editors like neovim, vis, helix, etc. are still terminal exclusive.

It's so cumbersome because they always end up with requiring you to install stupid icon fonts and will very heavily limit the kind of customization you can do.

And because they insist on being terminal exclusive they also simply don't allow otherwise simple things previewing a markdown file inside the editor for example.

Yes I know many graphical text editors exist too but they all suck because you have:
 - Jetbrains (Proprietary as fuck)
 - VSCodium (Electron bloatware with Microsoft backdoors)
 - Eclipse (Just absolutely no)
 - Kdevelop (Only good for C++ development)

So once again I can only conclude that Emacs is the least worst text editor...

@SuperDicq Kate w/ LSP plugin seems to go quite far in my experience
