I'm using ed for small edits when I know exactly that only a certain line needs to be deleted, or a word changed.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Kate/KWrite on KDE, Xed on any GTK DE, and micro for the terminal.
Joe - just for quick edits on a text file
Geany is the one I recommend, but I have naturally used Notepad++/Notepadqq on Windows/Linux too much at this point. So... no idea.
