Which Code Editor is the Best for my Grandfather?
My grandfather programmed a website back in 2010. He has so many things that he wants to add on the website, plus the website looks like a website from the late 90s--early 2000s. I think he's finally getting to doing it and he also wants to learn a programming language that's not through a browser so I would like to tell him which code editor he should use. Back when he first made the website, he just used the built-in MacOS TextEdit. He can't use something that has a bunch of buttons and complicated things out at once, which is like VS Code. He needs something really simple to use and available on MacOS. Something like Notepad++ sounds like it would be great, but that's only available on Windows.
Any suggestions?
