Its source code is available on Github here:

A very few of the more popular F/LOSS GUI text and code editors among all Linux users are (in alphabetical order)

- Atom

- Bluefish

- Brackets

- Geany

It is likely a matter of opinion whether XEmacs should or should not be included here as well.

but Emacs caught up with XEmacs already a long time ago, so you could include that, and add gvim while you are at it :-)
