jEdit I believe would first go to the first character, and then if you 
pressed home again it would go to the very first position.

I think that was pretty reasonably, it is unfortunate that it is 
unusable in Linux, seeing as how Java font rendering is completely 
broken.

At least broken enough to be hideously ugly.

jEdit also has very little spacing (about the same as my screenshot from 
the other post) but equally undisturbing to me because of the extra 
areas to the left of the text that ensure that the text does not fall 
off into a cliff.

Like I said, the balance of graphical elements is more important than 
the actual space itself, but in single-pane editors, I need to have a 
little bit of spacing so that the text does not sit directly next to the 
edge of the window,

The spacing in Notepad is less than a character's width and yet I have 
had problems with it, and the border (in Windows 10) is just a thin blue 
line. But because of the Window shadow it stands out from the background 
and you just have no issue with it.

Now as you can see on this older screenshot:

the vertical spacing is actually ZERO pixels. When I edited the margins 
it was just more agreeable to me:

Even if a bit uncomfortable, but that was just my first attempt.

To me, on the first screenshot the text seems to be _underneath_ the 
border. I just don't like that. Add to that that the toolbar buttons are 
huge, which completely dwarfs the font, many other elements are huge 
too, and this was probably just the default setting. I also didn't like 
the blue line. Why? It creates too much contrast and draws attention to 
itself.

Well, all of that.
