What are text editors?

Text editors are software applications that allow users to create, view, and modify plain text files. They are commonly used by programmers, writers, and anyone who needs to work with code or simple text documents. Text editors often include features such as syntax highlighting, search and replace, and support for various file formats. Popular examples include Notepad, Sublime Text, and Visual Studio Code. They differ from word processors in that they focus on editing raw text rather than formatting documents for printing.
