For those of you that use version control, what do you use to edit your documents? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

I recently (finally) moved a bunch of my poems and short stories and other writings off of Google Docs and into a git repo of text files. Right now I'm editing them with VSCode or Zed, which I just found and like so far. Both are fine but not really geared toward writing not-code. What have y'all found that you like writing in?

I am too, now that you mention it. I started using vim early in my career because my team lead used it, and I never really had occasion to switch to emacs as I usually used a graphical IDE for most development work, and vim was mostly for editing individual files. Might have to give it a spin.
