Assuming they meant text editor, there are numerous great options on Linux.

Long time UNIX / Linux users like myself tend to use fully-extensible 
and scriptable console editors: Vim, Neovim, Emacs... These power tools 
have a steep learning curve and require a few weeks of commitment before 
they start paying off in terms of automation.

There are also many beginner-friendly GUI text editors: I like Kate, 
which is part of KDE but can also be used in GNOME. It's packaged by all 
distros and has reasonable configurability, many plugins and support for 
coding with LSP (Language Server Protocol).

In case you wanted a full-blown IDE, nowadays many full-time engineers 
are switching to Microsoft's excellent VS Code (not to be confused with 
the awful Microsoft Visual Studio). Works great on Linux, as well as 
Windows and macOS. Has a rich plugin ecosystem for any programming 
language and workflow. VScode takes considerably less effort to learn 
and customize relative to Neovim.

Ok. And now... flame on!!! ;-)
