    Best for editing simple text, probably the lightest app.
    Not for coding, or anything a bit complex.

    Said about Leafpad as an alternative

    Very similar to Windows Notepad.
    Positive comment • about 2 years ago • as an alternative to   Notepad

    Mousepad is designed to be a general-purpose, lightweight text editor. Leafpad follows the same principle. All other programs on the list have extra features, mostly for programming, which make them unsuitable replacements (Leafpad is sadly not Qt-based either, but that's unrelated)
