> A cross-platform, reimplementation of Notepad++
For Windows, how does this differ from Don Ho's original version? https://notepad-plus-plus.org/
What is the vision/goal of this fork?
Another one directly inspired by N++ is NotepadQQ. Tried it briefly and passed - mostly the functiinality was lacking. Not sure if it's Scintilla based, as the original, Geany or TextMate.

I have a container I setup with XFCE and this awesome Windows 95 theme: https://github.com/grassmunk/Chicago95 Geany works perfectly inside it for a little retro dev environment. It looks and feels just like old Visual Studio versions.
distrobox to manage the container: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox Then just install XFCE and tiger VNC server inside it. Using VNC makes it easy to connect into a little isolated session that has its own theming, etc. vs. trying to send geany to my native X11/wayland server.
You could also just run it in a browser window with a VNC HTML bridge, this would be a good base for that: https://github.com/accetto/ubuntu-vnc-xfce-g3
The easiest way to get Chicago95 setup is to run its GUI installer python script. I don't try to script it in a dockerfile or container setup.
There have been a series of forks, for example: https://github.com/zufuliu/notepad2
They seem to add a lot of features, though ... I'd be interested to find a more minimal one, which mostly just updates language syntaxes and OS support, and the thankless minor bug squashing ...
'Issue was closed' and 'fixed' are two different things:

I had the issue with the Flatpak version in an unmodified install on Fedora Silverblue 35, but my experience is apparently hardly unique.
Notepad3 is actively maintained and has many improvements, BTW.

I used this Jedi plugin for Python for a while, but didn't need it too often and didn't install it the next system refresh. Might be out of date.

gVim (only on windows/linux) with a minimal config is my preferred. Fast but a few powerful built-in vim features like search, replace, syntax highlighting, spellchecking, auto-indent etc. It loads in about 1.5s on my machine and renders the text nicely.
Maybe take a look at https://github.com/macvim-dev/macvim on mac, perhaps someone can comment about the state of macvim?
TextMate is my go-to for being free and open-source with lots of great features while still being super fast and lightweight
