Have you considered using GNU Emacs? Or even shudder vim?

There are plenty of free software games available: https://libregamewiki.org/

Yes, I did. They are both perfectly fine editors but they don't hold a candle to a proper IDE with a good Vim plugin. I also want to play some games that go beyond the production values of SuperTuxKart and Battle for Wesnoth.

I'm not sure what you mean by "proper" in this context. Every IDE I've ever used has seemed like a child's toy compared to Emacs. An annoying child's toy with cracks and sharp edges.

I also want to play some games that go beyond the production values of SuperTuxKart and Battle for Wesnoth.

Try 0 A.D. or FreeOrion.
