Re: Sublime Text 3.0
#82I think Sublime is a great editor. I enjoy a lot of the nice UI based workflows Sublime provides - but always felt that mastering VIM / emacs would provide me a far better pay out. Does any body else agree ?
There is a neovim plugin for sublime if you want to benefit from both fancy hotkeys and the minimap / other IDE-ish niceities

#83>apt/yum/pacman repositories for Linux Major kudos to these guys for distributing their software properly on Linux!
I second this. It's one of the rare non-default apps I'm installing on by Linux workstations!

#84Kudos to the ST team for never trying to patent or sue random companies for using the multi-select feature. That feature alone has helped improve so many editors.
Didn't Emacs have something like this before ST?

Note that that feature was in TextMate, which was Sublime's inspiration.
EDIT: Leaving the original comment below for posterity, but it looks like the TextMate article I found on this doesn't predate ST's multi-select, so I have no idea which is true. I'll just take the ST devs at their word :)
Interesting. TIL
It even looks like TextMate implemented the individual copy/paste buffer for each cursor correctly as well, something that VSCode had horribly wrong the last time I tried to use it.
Do you know if this only worked with the cmd+click cursors, or did it also support the cmd+d mode to select the same word in multiple places?
Regardless, kudos to TextMate as well :)

#86I 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?
I'm in the same boat, though I find it unlikely that I would go back to Sublime at this point. VSCode is free, (mostly) MIT, has a unified debugger, great git support, integrated terminal emulator, and a nice healthy extension community. Sublime is cheap for how often you'll use it, but not free. It's proprietary. Git support even with paid plugins is lacking, especially compared to VS Code. I'm glad I bought Sublime…
Same here. I switched from Sublime to VSCode a few weeks ago after reading some comments here on HN. I don't think I will go back to Sublime for the reasons you mentioned. I also have the feeling that thanks to a fast increasing community the extensions are more polished (in particular, I like the vim mode better).
Sublime is indeed faster and more lightweight but that's not enough for me to keep using it.

#87I honestly can't believe I'm saying this, but: can you please enable me to buy a new license for 4.0 even though it may not even be on the road map yet? Or switch to / enable a subscriber model which is paid yearly and gives access to all upgrades? I rely so much on sublime for my day to day work and I fear the $80 or whatever I paid for it whenever ago is too cheap for the amount of value I'm getting out of it, and…
Yes, happy to pay more often. Or just have smaller releases. It must have been years since I last paid for Sublime

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.
It is slightly faster, but I didn't notice any difference with the fonts.

Probably. I've used it in Emacs for quite a while, but I'm not sure where that falls in the history with the sublime text.
