Thanks, I'll check them out.

Bluefish looks like a possible replacement for notepad++  but it
doesn't [seem to?] support WYSIWYG editing of html files.

I'll save recipes that look good and try them later.  But I don't want
all the fluff that goes with most recipes, so I trim them down
drastically;
delete all the <look at all these other recipes>, all the comments,
all the kitchenware thry're trying to sell me...  All I want is the
recipe

Right.  If I was going to climb the emacs learning curve I'd have done
it 20 years ago :)

While I like vim and occasionally do use it for html editing, what
usually happens is running the file thru tidy and then edit with vim.
I'd rather have a WYSIWYG html editor that lets me delete tables, rows
or columns at a time.  Or, since everybody wants to move to CSS,
delete all the goop in a specific <div>

Meld is beautiful.  Meld looks **good**  But I find it a distraction
and _much_ harder to figure out what the difference is between two
files or merge updates from <this> file to <that> file.
Maybe I've just gotten used to winmerge & <alt><downarrow> to get to
the next difference and <alt><left arrow> to copy the missing text
from the left window to the right window.  I can do most everything
from the keyboard.  Maybe because I haven't used it that much but I
was using the mouse a lot in meld.

Thank you.  More things to check out :)

Yup.  I want to pull music off a CD and make MP3s of it.
2 cars ago I had a CD caddy in the trunk - I could play 6 CD worth of
music without having to change anything.
Now my car has a USB port; that + a 16GB thumb drive is more than 12
hrs worth of drive time enjoyment (as much as droning along at 55MPH
can be called enjoyment)

I want to be able to use wireshark to look at encrypted web traffic.  eg
https://everything.curl.dev/usingcurl/tls/sslkeylogfile.html
