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.

Ah cool, I didn't know about that. Thanks!

Yikes, if $70 too high for developer productivity it seems someone isn't doing the right equation when you consider developer salaries cost in lost hours.

I feel the issue isn't the $70 which isn't a big deal (or shouldn't be) but more the point that other editors like VSCode are available now and have the backing of a big company like Microsoft. The biggest criticism of Sublime is that it often feels like it has been abandoned. It goes 6+ months without a peep from the developer. This can make people uneasy. I prefer Sublime over VSCode, Atom, etc. but at the end of t…

It goes 6+ months without a peep from the developer.

There was a time when that was the case, but for quite a while now we've been seeing frequent releases.

Total Commander isn't updated for a long time now and still one of the most useful windows file manager out there. With ST we see slow but constant development, personally I don't care if the author is not a Twitter addict.

Total Commander released version 9 last dec, the first beta for version 9 was available a few months before in june. The previous version before that was 8.52 that was released in Sep 2015, so less them a year between the last two released. This hardly count as not updated for a long time.

Oh, my bad. I never noticed it was updated for a long time. Probably the lack of online checks.

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…

My bet is that the issue is a faulty plugin you have installed rather than ST itself, since I've had that happen to me.

Why wouldn't they ? I think package control should be built in.

Some people just don't want to install packages and prefer to keep the editor as is. And i can't blame them, the only packages I install are my usual theme and Emmet.

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.

I actually switched to VS Code vs Sublime for most tasks just recently. It has a few quirks (looking at you, files that just close for no reason) and isn't quite as quick, but the language/debugging packages and support are just leagues better.

I only go back to sublime when i have to open really large files. Apart form that, couldn't be more happier with VS Code.

I switched to Atom after years using sublime and I love it. Only wish they had syntax highlighting for Swift, something that I have yet to encounter in any text editor.

Edit: Looked around a bit and it's fairly simple to add it to Atom.

> I haven't found an easy app for Linux that works like Search Everything on Windows. https://github.com/albertlauncher/albert

That's not quite like Search Everything, which is just a tool for searching files by name. In that vein though, see also Synapse: https://launchpad.net/synapse-project

True, but searching by name it's one of the main features of Albert and it's certainly more convenient than using ST to search your computer.

I never experienced this, which type of files ?
