From the list, Geany. Not exactly light, but a lot lighter than the big IDE's. A good syntax highlighting text editor. For the cli, nano. You don't have to remember a bunch of key combos to use it. Leafpad works ok but is too light. I saw where emacs can do syntax highlighting.
When I think of a text editor, I think of operating in terminal (mode). If I am operating in a gui, I think of something in the gui line. Hence, this year, thinking cli, I choose my default goto nano.
