On KDE Plasma, I would stick with Kate and hide/disable some the fancier interface features. It might seem like overkill, but since it's built from common components that other KDE apps use anyway, the effective resource consumption will probably be light. And Kate is quick.
On a Gtk desktop, you might try Mousepad. This is what I used before moving away from Xfce.
