Simple text editors with *some* quality of life features?

So, I've bounced around a few different options that are all pretty good at what they do. Cherrytree is very neat, almost perfect, but the way it only lets you move nodes around one at a time, and how it doesn't edit raw markdown files, and had some issues with importing longer markdown files where it only imports less than half the document, make me less likely to use it. Zim is also very cool, but doesn't edit raw markdown. Gedit is almost perfect if only the file browser addon allowed you to reorganise your notes. And every other editor I have tried has the same issue as Gedit, where it expects you to use a separate file browser to reorganise your notes. Except Joplin, which is too feature rich for this ten year old macbook to run at a reasonable speed. And I don't want anything cloud based in principle, I don't like getting locked out of my laptop just because I don't have internet.

Anyone know of a note taking application that's as lightweight as Gedit and also allows you to reshuffle your notes? Or of a way to customise an existing lightweight application with this functionality? 'Cause honestly Gedit is so close to perfect.

There's been a number of crossposts from AccessibleAnarchy so I just wanted to share my experience with the mods of that sub for anyone like me who vibes with that sub

Essentially, I complained about a pattern I'd noticed in that subreddit where people generally didn't link to the person who created what was being shared. The mods banned me for this, and gave no explanation when I asked what had happened. Nothing in the rules suggests this was a bannable offence.

I am left in a position where the only thing I can assume is that the mods themselves actually purposefully do not want people to credit artists for some reason or another which is something I feel contradicts the very purpose of their subreddit. Anarchy is about building a community of people that mutually support one another, if the mods of that subreddit actively do not allow people to call on others to support, what is the purpose of this subreddit you're building except as a parasocial echochamber with only the veneer of anarchism about it?

(Also, for a subreddit dedicated to accessible anarchy, they sure are quick to give out bans)

Hey fellas, just a suggestion, maybe don't link to pro-AI subreddits: it just gives the trolls lurking here another place to congregate if their other communities die

Also, better to celebrate what's not AI than get angry about what is right?

I vaguely remember that it's tiered and addition and subtraction should be done simultaneously from left to right, but that just feels like overcomplicating things, since doing them equally from left to right is just equivalent to doing subtraction first.

The same goes for division and multiplication, the systems that put multiplication first are overcomplicating things since if you just put division first, nobody needs to remember that that tier are done simultaneously left to right.

I haven't thought about this in years, and only just became confused trying to remember whether "a - b + c" would have been taught to be "a - (b+c)" or the much more sensible "a + (-b) + c
