My favourite editor is VIM, followed by VS Code, though I use Windows Notepad a lot for trivial stuff like editing a social media post, or as a place to dump text from the clipboard for simple editing. In addition, I like to cat > my_script_name for writing short scripts without launching an editor (and usefully, with the cat> approach, you can see terminal output above while writing the script, and as an exercise it is a great way of forcing you to think as you type, since once a line has been entered, you can't go back without loading the script in an editor.
