In my experience, the beta had been stellar for ages. But now I can finally drop the money on them ;). Purchased the upgrade license at and incredibly modest price of $30.

Just checked and my upgrade cost is only $11 which I can't really argue with ;)

Does Sublime come with a Git integration like Atom does?

There are Git plugins, but Git is not integrated into Sublime itself. There are many many Git plugins though, all great ones :)

Bar none, my favorite editor. I try to use Vim only sometimes to make sure I keep those commands in shape, but Sublime remains for hardcore work. It breaks my heart that it's closed source.

I do wonder sometimes how much the app makes and/or how much someone would have to pay the developer to open source it.

I'm a daily user since 2012, and I'm glad they made me pay for the upgrade. Best editor ever.

Sublime makes cross-platform development easy, and it's so much faster than the alternatives.

There is "VIntage Mode" for ST, but unfortunately it's not entirely accurate and also doesn't support some commands. VSCode's VIM plugin is more complete.

I primarily use VSCode as my editor but I used Sublime back in the days. I haven't touched it in a while. How do these two editors compare lately?

Sublime is still the fastest(opens instantly), and personally it looks better than VSCode with the new adaptive themes. Font rendering on MacOS is native in Sublime instead of the fake blurry stuff you get with Electron.

As someone who greatly under-utilizes Sublime, I'm still amazed at the ease with which it handles crazy, large files. I never even notice it until someone remarks on how I'm able to open a ~20 Mb file without hassle.
