All LaTeX editors pale in comparison to Sublime + LatexTools Plugin + git. Each tool in this stack is designed to do one thing and they do it perfectly.
If Sublime only had definite release! It's wonderful GUI editor! I stopped using it years ago when I switched to Vim and Emacs, but if it gets released I will buy it for sure, at least to have it on my work machine. I like editing text in it, everything is so smooth and well looking, and it doesn't feel bloated. And I just hate all those Electron based editors, no matter how much incrementally they get better from mo…
Well, it still has some annoying issues: https://github.com/SublimeTextIssues/Core/issues/392 So I have to use Kate for non-Latin text. But it still miles better than VSCode/Atom.
I use a US keyboard now so I had forgotten :)
Sublime is my favorite editor for LaTeX. I've tried every other editor on the market, TexMaker, TexStudio, OverLeaf, ShareLaTeX. All LaTeX editors pale in comparison to Sublime + LatexTools Plugin + git. Each tool in this stack is designed to do one thing and they do it perfectly.

Instead of writing blog posts as a vital sign, maybe it would help to offer some regularly updated pre-defined "bundles" of ST together with package sets for a certain audience (JS/TS/Python developer, etc.). Many packages have a higher update frequency, so even when there is no new ST build it would make sense to also update such bundles on a more regular basis (I know packages are updated automatically -- but this…
There's a command to "install package control" with the newer versions of ST3 that doesn't require manually copying and pasting a script into the console. It's a big improvement and still allows users who don't want package control to not have it.
Why people cry about sublime not having a "release" yet. I have faced 0 bugs, seriously 0 and I'm using it for more than 3 years. Its way more performant than the rest "cool" editors and honestly...it just works! Maybe you need a little bit more configuration to make it perfect for you but thats just it.
On Mac, one bug that bites me about once per week is the editor becomes unresponsive. Not the whole application, I can still focus on windows, use the menus, and scroll the text, but the text editor just goes vegetable. The caret disappears, and I am unable to select text, type, paste, etc. Occasionally it returns after 20-30 seconds, but usually I have to restart Sublime. It's still a great application in spite of t…
I love Sublime Text. I really dislike heavy IDEs, so for me, it's almost the perfect editor. But... am I the only person who wants a minimal editor like Sublime, plus an inline debugger? Debugging where you edit code is one of those super-features that I really don't understand why people prefer not to have it. Ideally it would be something generic and lightweight, with the ability to extend via plugins. The debuggin…

That's true. I've been using Sublime for years and I've never had a bug or a crash. It pretty much perfect. And it's blazing fast. I actually even use its fuzzy search to search my harddrive sometimes. Because I haven't found an easy app for Linux that works like Search Everything on Windows.

Release or not release is just a name. You shouldn't let that be a factor. In my experience it is absolutely stable and as bug free as software can be. However, I'm not sure how well maintained it is. I fear all the time that the author, jps, has quit, but then every few months he has a development sprint and releases a new version. I'd rather have it permanently called "beta" but a minor update every month, than one…

You're describing VS Code. Now you may not think it's lightweight, but for anyone not toiling away on a turn of the century machine it's plenty fast and has great debugging facilities.
