There are plenty of mid-level editors out there. Sounds like Notepad++ and Sublime Text are up you alley.

Also, it depends what you mean by bloated, but VS Code can be stripped down to work just like the two I listed above. Language servers aren't required by any means. If you're looking for sub 50MB ram usage, then stick to the two above and search for "Sublime Text alternative" and I'm sure you'll find more equivalents than you ever wanted.

I've used Notepad++ and Sublime Text and like them a lot, but I could really use something that can run on a Raspberry Pi too. I guess I should have included that. Being able to use a single text editor across platforms would be terrific.

I prefer Atom.io over VSCode for simplicity. It's much closer to working the way I want out-of-the-box. There's so much junk I have to disable in VSCode to get it where I like.

Geany is cross-platform and runs on RPi

There's been talk about work on a build of sublime for arm64 -- I think if you poke around on their forums there was a link or contact to get a beta copy for licensed users.
