For the past 25+ years, I've been using Slickedit. I just continued to upgrade occasionally and import my settings over the years so I continue to work in the way I like - and it's easy to make a portable setup.

It's been close to flawless and has served me so well.

EmEditor is quite good, but it has no Rust plugin, so I use Zed editor to view Rust files,
but Zed Editor lacks LaTex rendering for Markdown now, and its mermaid rendering for Markdown is a little bit ugly, so I use Typora or VSCode to view Markdown files with LaTex equations and Mermaid diagrams.
