Since I'm here, I felt like posting my customizations!
If this is inappropriate, I apologize and you may delete the thread, thanks.
I'm using SciTE mostly on Windows, where I'm allergic to VS Code and the only
other decent choices are, in my opinion, Code::Blocks and Notepad2.
Meanwhile on Linux, I favor the "Liberation Mono" font as certain things look
better in it (the digit 1, and the vertical spacing, for instance). I should
also note that on Linux there is stronger competition: both Kate (KDE5) and
Geany are pretty darn good.

I prefer proportional fonts myself as you get more text in each line and its more legible. As a member of the Proportionist Front, I use SciTE to further our dreams of dominating the universe.
even for coding?
Of course. I often use SciTE with default settings.
:)
You need to invent self-expanding tabs before you can conquer the Universe.
Closing since I'm not planning on distributing this properties file.
