You didn't include gvim, which is definitely my favorite editor, so I voted for vim.

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.

From the list, Acme. Just like every year since it was included. :)
Awesome allround tool.

Leafpad.

Visual Studio Code should be here, not in "IDE of the year".

Geany/nano. Can't really make one choice here.
I can use it if I must, but I've never gotten into vi(m).

Doing so would have further split the votes, if not already by specifying separate categories for vi and vim!

I think there should be only one general package name, to avoid splitting votes between the same general package/application.

Sort of like how Ubuntu (Red Hat, and all the other SystemD derivatives) themselves with the objective for winning the popularity contest.

I envy people who understand how to use it. Every time I try, I give up. It surely looks interesting though!

geany is what i use, and nano / vi(m)

cli vs gui
 
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.
