Cool, didn’t know SubEthaEdit had returned. I remember using it for pair-programming in 2003.
For myself the Apple supplied TextEdit I use frequently for making notes etc.
If I am doing some coding I use a combo of
VS Code, TextMate, and Text Wrangler. With VS code being the bulk of the work, but use the other 2 for opening other files and or reference materials.

Oh lol, i guess this is one of those places. I must have upset someone by disagreeing with something.
No, this is just standard behavior for the Xenforo forum software. New members are "kept on a short leash" and a variety of things can trigger an automatic need for moderator approval. In this case, it appears that the link in your quote caused this. It often doesn't make much sense, but that's just the way the software works.
anyone of those apps mentioned here can do this? Talking about the color dot corresponding to the color hexacode

VS Code does something similar in HTML/CSS/Less/PHP mode, including a pop-up colour picker, but it is tied to the context sensitivity for those languages. I.e. it has to be a valid HTML/CSS colour definition. Hence:

The developer doesn’t owe you anything. He might not have a Mac or simply doesn’t care about macOS.
The code is here https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus port it to macOS yourself.
BBEdit has been one of the best, most full-featured text editors on the Mac for decades. TextWrangler was a free and simpler version of that by the same developer. Eventually TextWrangler became too much work to maintain and they dropped it suggesting people move over to BBEdit. I did and have been happy about it ever since. Every couple of years they bring out a new major version that requires a fee to upgrade. It is never very much and I’m glad to contribute a little to help keep excellent software available.
Speaking of terminal, type sudo nano for text editor!
EDIT: Just type nano if you are "not in the sudoers file" or if you don't have admin permissions
EDIT #2: Ctrl + W = Find words
GNU nano is not a great solution, though.
As far as the way it is used, customized, and updated, and it's somewhat modular nature with installable packages I'd have to say TextMate is the closest to Notepad++ I've come across. BBedit is more polished, less customizable, and the second closest. When I was using these programs heavily I preferred TextMate, I liked that it was highly customizable, but now that I only have an occassional need I tend to go for BBedit as it's a bit more user friendly with less of a learning curve.

Still a bargain for some quality software. We’ll easily spend that going out for dinner one night .
I change the font size and the background color of a text file on the default text reader on Mac (TextEdit) and save the file but when I open it later, it goes back to the default settings!
Can I change the font size and background color for all text files permanently?
Also, Can I open a few text files in different tabs like in Notepad++?

What is possible in TextEdit:

I can change the font size and the background color already but problem is it wouldn't stick and when I open textedit later, the style is the default style! I want to permanently change it for all TXT files.
