(They are great for running specific programs, but it gets painful when it takes a few seconds to open a new large program.) I find it is easier to do most stuff from a PC, and only occasionally edit things directly on a Pi. But that is easier if the desktop is Linux, since it gives you several convenient ways to swap files and work together with the Pi. So for an editor that works on the Pi, I usually use nano. It is a simple command-line editor - fine for making small fixes, and works well over ssh even on very limited connections. Unlike other popular command-line editors such as vi and emacs, it works as you would expect it to. As for an editor for Linux and/or Windows, I am afraid you are in trouble - there are vast numbers of them, with a broad range from light and simple to large and complex. They are all somewhat different from Codewright - and it is always hard for a "power user" to switch editors. No matter which editor you pick, you will go through a period where you feel there are missing features, bad layouts, counter-intuitive interfaces, etc., simply because it is not the editor you are so familiar with. Personally, I use eclipse as my main editor these days, on Linux and Windows. It works well for what I need, I am used to it, and it is by far the most common IDE delivered with microcontroller toolchains. But I would not run it on a Pi, and I fully understand how some people don't like it.
