For the absolute lightweight, there is vi, eMacs, nano, etc.

For a UI I’ve been using VSCode. It is quite quick when you disable all extensions and most settings.

> eMacs

I love Emacs, but I don't see how a Lisp platform with a web browser, a Tetris implementation, and 4 terminal emulators (shell, term, ansi-term, eshell) can be considered 'lightweight'.

vi and emacs are absolutely not lightweight, let alone "absolutely lightweight".

I'm sorry but you cannot use VS Code and lightweight in the same sentence.
