Last official release was 2021, so I looked for something more regularely updated, and found CudaText. Definitely very Sublime-ish, and I like it so far.

Best Mac OS version for web development on a MBP 2012
Use a native editor. VS Code is IMHO awful. Someone mentioned Sublime which is fast and has some nice features, but its non-native UI is IMHO ugly and clumsy. You might like it for similarity to VS Code, I guess. If you want something much more "Mac", though: https://macromates.com

Beginner!
You might want to at least use a code editor with syntax highlighting so that it gets a little easier to read the code. Personally I use Geany but there are many other ones you can use.
