For a “lean back” editor (as opposed to “lean in” like Vim or Emacs) that’s menu and mouse friendly while still being lightweight overall, sure, why not? Kate is good for that, Geany also good. You might also look at Sublime (not open source) or a clone like CudaText (open source, bit more of a retro UI).
I wouldn’t use those myself but my preferred posture is different. Use the glove that fits.
