CudaText is a code editor with a clean, tabbed interface and side-panels. Includes split view, code folding, hotkeys, theme support, color picker and much more. The program supports 300+ syntaxes and add-ons written in Python, as well as some IDE features if plugins are used.
The program is cross-platform, with clients available for Mac and Linux. Settings are modified either via options dialogs, or alternatively, by manually editing text config files (JSON format).

@FileHandler: It would be helpful -- at least for me -- if you could document your findings and settings in CudaText's forum topic... TiA

Seasoned Synwrite user that I am, I was not too enthusiastic about CudaText in the beginning. My mistake. Cudatext has all the features I have come to appreciate in Synwrite, if — and that's the catch here — if one is willing to spend time customizing the interface, intall plugins, adjust settings here and there. All of which is easy enough to do. Guess I was just too lazy to bother all those years.
Meanwhile however, I have made the transition, and I am very happy with it. Themes alone are worth it, settings are more accessible and easier to find and ajdust than in Synwrite. CudaText is well documented and highly customizable. I have set up my own dropdown menus and toolbars and I make heavy use of intext-bookmarks, an extremely useful feature that is rare to find in other editors.
