About Sublime Text

Sublime Text is a Windows, Mac, and Linux-based application development solution that helps organizations manage text editing processes for codes, markups, and prose. It allows team members to manage syntax definitions and highlighting using built-in features, such as multi-line constructs, laze embeds, and non-deterministic grammars.

Key features of Sublime Text include code auto-completion, debugging, multi-monitor editing, code folding, code refactoring, customizable templates, and more. With the command palette tool, staff members can handle sorting, syntax changing, and indentation updates. It is available on a perpetual license and support is extended via documentation, community forum, FAQs, and other online measures.

Pros:

Sublimt text is my goto text editor for basic programming, while it does not have the frills of VS Code and the Storm IDEs it is light weight and super fast, works the same on any platform and is great for web.

Cons:

Plugin directory at times is lacking, but this is less of a complaint about the product and just the community as a whole being smaller

Pros:

Free plan. Light weight and easy to install. Plugins can be installed for advanced feature. Can open majot types of programming language files. Inbuilt auto complete features.

Cons:

Doesnt come with a shell, so you may not be able to run your program directly via the text editor, except you install the console or you configure the command line interface. Every other thing is okay.

Pros:

Sublime Text was my code editor of choice for many years, I still haven't found anything that opens as fast this does!

Cons:

The only reasons I switched away was for more detailed debugging that an IDE gives you, especially for C#.

Pros:

The speed at which Sublime Text operates is remarkable, effortlessly handling large files. Also, the wide variety of customisation makes this editor my favourite choice.

Cons:

Updates and support can sometimes feel less frequent, which, while not often a major issue, leaves me wishing for quicker access to new features or bug fixes.

powerhouse for developers who prioritize speed and efficiency

Sublime Text remains a powerhouse for developers who prioritize speed and efficiency. The AI plugin ecosystem has breathed new life into it, making code completion and assistance surprisingly good. Perfect for quick edits and power users.

Functionality

Pros:

Blazing fast performance, excellent multiple cursors, and seamless AI plugin integration. Tools like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT plugins work flawlessly without slowing down the editor. The lightweight design means AI assistance feels instant and responsive. Good community support.

Cons:

Requires manual plugin setup for modern features. While AI plugins work well, they need separate installation and configuration compared to built-in solutions.

Reaper for Code Editors: Race-car fast and buttery smooth

Compared to other products like Visual Studio Code (VS Code) or Nova (by Panic) is the Sublime Text so buttery smooth and rapidly fast. I would say: Sublime Text is to code editors what Reaper is to DAWs (for music-editing). It doesn’t win a beauty contest but functional speed trumps make-up.

Functionality

Pros:

It’s super fast, reliable, free to use, and computer resource usage is very low. Also: Even if it crashes or I close it, it retains unsaved changes. It’s language-agnostic. I am able to identify special characters that look like that they "don’t exist" in regular WYSIWYG editors but they do, something like: ‌<0x200c>

Cons:

For my purpose (occasional simple HTML, CSS, JS editing) it works perfectly fine and smooth. There’s nothing that stood in my way.
