  • Pros

    • Free and open source: can't beat that price | Clean, simple UI is easy to grasp | Syntax highlighting aids code readability | Plugin support extends the functionality

  • Cons

    • Feels pretty basic compared to modern editors | Plugin ecosystem isn't exactly thriving | No dark mode? Seriously? | The UI is functional, but visually uninspired
