Ones that I’m aware of…
IBM Z Open Editor - https://ibm.github.io/zopeneditor-about/ ( not technically open source but free )
Eclipse Che for Z - https://github.com/eclipse/che-che4z
Atom with various plugins - https://atom.io/users/openmainframeproject

I’m running Visual COBOL on Visual Studio 2019 using the Micro Focus tools. I’ve been writing code for 40+ years but a total COBOL noob. I really like it so far.
It’s really funny running on a 4K monitor with only 80 columns. From a distance the code looks like the receipt you get from the grocery store
