After having used Atom for years (now sunsetting) and Sublime the last few months (one of the most recommended editors), I have migrated to using CotEditor as my main text editor.

CotEditor is a free and open-source text editor for macOS. It is designed to be lightweight and focused on providing a clean and efficient writing environment.

"The Plain-Text Editor for macOS"

Available from the macOS App Store.
