I just looked at Cooledit screen shots, and thought "ugh".

The fonts are fugly, for one.

I just use joe in my terminal window, which has smooth
fonts, as well as syntax highlighting.  I won't tolerate
pixelated fonts in any of my programs

$ ll /usr/bin/joe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 747344 Sep  5  2019 /usr/bin/joe

But I'm not going to play "editor wars".  If you like
Cooledit, more power to you.
