I already know Vim, but nowadays I prefer an application that I can just
launch and it just works, out of the box. With Vim I need to read the
docs of plugins, configure the plugins, remember what are the keyboard
shortcuts for spell-checking, etc. I should maybe try GVim instead of
using Vim in a terminal. Or Neovim.

I've tried to install scite and textadept, but on Linux it's a bit
difficult with Scintillua. And I'm not sure that command completion is
supported.

BTW I'm the author of GNOME LaTeX ;-)
https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/GNOME-LaTeX
(this text editor supports only LaTeX, unfortunalety). If I have the
time I would like to implement a new text editor specialized for TeX and
ConTeXt.
