P.S. You sure seem to have picked up a lot of knowledge with just peeking from time to time.
Gedit is just the stock TXT editor that comes with Ubuntu. It has some of the basic (computer) language parsing features you see in Calibre/Sigil code view.

IMHO There is no need to load yourself down wit every editor there is.
Pick a couple for specific tasks, and only change if you see one that really does what you NEED.

Fore me:
Win / Linux

Notepad++/Gedit
Libre Office/Libre office
Sigil/Sigil
Calibre/Calibre

Hmm maybe there is a pattern here
