Gedit
(Gnome Edit)
"gedit is the text editor of the GNOME desktop environment."
This is the default GUI editor on several distributions of Linux.
If you:
- Want to edit a file
- Are on a popular Linux Desktop distrobution
- Don't need a full IDE
- hopefully because these are simple changes
This is probably what you should use.
It has very few features, but has syntax highlighting for a hand full of languages.
Mostly people use it because it's the system's default for several file types, and is more than "good enough" for certain tasks
