A lightweight, simple, fast, feature-filled, text editor written in C, and Lua
I actually authored something for this to work with my workflow on lite-xl (I compile a mid-sized C++ codebase on the regular).
It's still not really ready for release, but it's here, in case you're at all interested: https://github.com/adamharrison/lite-xl-ide; it's a build system and debugger integration.
The build tasks don't run in a terminal however; they move over to a build window at the bottom of the editor. The execution, however, by default, runs in whatever terminal you want to configure, so the actual program output does dump to an external terminal. Unfortunately, there is no truly integrated terminal as of yet.

Multi-cursor code editing: An animated introduction
Nice post. Obligatory Helix plug: For anyone interested in taking this further, there are whole editors designed around multi-cursor editing.

:syntax off (2016)
I could never turn it off completely but I do sometimes use the Acme theme during the day (it's too bright in the evening), which highlights just comments, strings, and errors.

Lapce
You can use a snippet LSP to work around Helix not having a built-in LSP manager. They're listed in https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/395

Memray – A Memory Profiler for Python
I'm probably not the average python programmer.
But I normally just create two terminals (I have a tiling window manager) and in one I open a python file under /tmp/ write my code and execute it in the other terminal.
I would probably use a REPL if it was integrated in my favorite editor ( https://helix-editor.com ).

Neovide – a simple, no-nonsense, cross-platform GUI for Neovim
Wow, that's been there a while: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/commit/35c974c9c49f912...
Wonder how I missed that. I'm getting a re-education in helix today -- thank you! I'll go through `hx --tutor` again before I insert any more feet in my mouth.

Zed is now open source
Interesting to see how they are gonna approach integrating plugins/extensions system, because this is likely gonna be one of the major factors affecting adoption and ecosystem growth.
Helix devs, for instance, lean towards a Scheme-like implementation. [1]
