Use GNU Emacs
There are many text editors extensible in Lua or in Python. They generally don't allow messing with the innards as much (Firefox proved that's a double edge sword with its extension, it's not an unalloyed good).

And Emacs Lisp doesn't feel super accessible to most software developers under 40. Almost all its conventions come from a small little island, it's like marsupials in Australia, their own little parallel evolution.

: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
I've used vim at a moderate proficiency level for 10+ years, but Helix's selection -> action motion design is just better.
Helix has been looking for a GUI solution for a while now. ( https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/39 ) I wonder if Lapce's UI toolkit would be a good fit.
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
Hm, i wasn't much of a user of visual mode in vim. Seems something like gv is coming to helix:
https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/1596
What does g; do?
Helix has (experimental?) macro record/playback q/Q?
I would recommend the helix editor[1].
You won't get the deep magic of emacs, or the benefit of learning vi key bindings (sadly there's not yet a helix mode for gnu readline) - but you get a great modal editing experience, good defaults and great discoverability.
I moved from vim/neovim a while back - and now I find vi/vim verb-object (d[delete]w[ord]) yanky compared hx visual select/object-verb (wd).
I've been using vim for some 15-20 years prior.
Oh, neat: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/39#issue-908964...
Looks like a Neovide author wants to abstract Neovide to support other editors! Imagine that's a big lift, though.
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.
