What are some encrypted text editors for Linux?

You need the ability to encrypt a text file with a password and the ability to edit it.
From what I found, there are the following:
vim -x - for those who love this editor, a good option, but I prefer something closer to gedit or sublime
laverna - a cool thing, but you can't set a password for a separate file, all notes are encrypted one
encryptedpad password - as far as I understood from the tutorial, you need to generate a key there. these are additional steps, plus you need to store these keys somewhere and move them between different computers. Not suitable, I just want a password.

Oh, 25 again... What's the intruder's model? So who are you protecting yourself from? From the matchmaker-brother-neighbor? From the boss? From the state?
All these levels have different possibilities - financial, technical, influence on you

Why not just encrypt the file after editing?

It's Unix :-)
Choose an encryptor to your liking, for example, I use
ccrypt.sourceforge.net
and then wrap the launch of your favorite editor with an alias \ script so that the file is encrypted on output and decrypted on opening.

If vim is suitable, then there is gvim - gouishka for vim
