For those of you that use version control, what do you use to edit your documents? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

I recently (finally) moved a bunch of my poems and short stories and other writings off of Google Docs and into a git repo of text files. Right now I'm editing them with VSCode or Zed, which I just found and like so far. Both are fine but not really geared toward writing not-code. What have y'all found that you like writing in?

For writing i use Obsidian with the git plugin.

I want to give Obsidian a real try. I have seen it around but never used it, because it seems really complicated to operate and I haven't felt like I have the brainpower to really get my head around it, but it looks interesting. Do you use the concept graph and all the other stuff or do you use it more as a plain old editor?
