I would like to use emmet/zen coding on Ubuntu but I haven't found any simple text editor that supports it preferably with easy to install way. A plugin for Geany (which is pretty similar to Notepad++) is very old and hard to install. Are there some other editors?

UPD: I've found Bluefish that is even more alike Notepad++, shortcuts and functionality are pretty close in default package.

Notepad++ as snap is slow (main reason) and ugly and also Emmet is not in the main plugin repository. It is hard to install emmet for notepad++ as well.

Most popular that I know, is Sublime text: https://www.sublimetext.com/download

To install:

wget -qO - https://download.sublimetext.com/sublimehq-pub.gpg | sudo apt-key add -+
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
echo "deb https://download.sublimetext.com/ apt/stable/" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sublime-text.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sublime-text
