I’ve installed another new text editor, this, like atom, is a graphical editor featuring syntax highlighting and many other modern features.  It is called Sublime Text.

     Sublime Text is available on Centos6, Centos7, Debian, Fedora, Julinux, Mint, MxLinux, Scientific6, Scientific7, Ubuntu, and Zorin.

      It is available under Applications -> Programming -> Sublime Text under either Gnome or Mate desktops, not sure where it shows up under others.
