I’ve been looking for a long time for a good alternative to sublime text.

however it’s not really a text editor, it’s more like a full IDE at this point, I really like lapce, it does have some bugs, but it’s really lightweight and fast, and I like the UI a lot

I think Zed looks really promising in that regard, although it’s only on MacOS so far (but other OSes will come). It feels like sublime text, but with modern LSP, vim emulation and collaboration features built in.

it does seem neat, but also a bit overkill for what I want

Not perfectly sure what you mean. I found Zed to be not any less simple than Sublime+LSP+Terminus. Mind elaborating?

I dont need nor want an LSP, the collaboration features or any of that. just nice and simple, for all that other stuff i have the full de like lapce or vscode

Just curious, why do you want to replace SublimeText with an alternative?

I prefer open source in general
