No comments or reviews, maybe you want to be first?Said about TEA as an alternative
It contains many functions which are rare in other text editors or need separate plugins/advanced regex to do, such as: change straight quotes to curly double quotes, line operations (remove emtpy lines, trailing spaces, sort), set the font used for both the UI and the text editor, reading support for text-based word processor formats such as PDF, DOCX, RTF is one of the most useful feature for me.
