my second fav. text editor after vs code.
I gotta say tho, VS Code did get the plugin story better - they don't seem to clash/conflict with each other and with global settings the way they did (for me at least) with sublime.

#262Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'm not sure I've seen a text editor that was revolutionary enough that I would consider myself crippled if it didn't stick around.
Emacs? I'd either implement my own version / maintain my own fork or stop using computers.
I have a feeling that emacs/vim in some form are going to stick around longer than I'll care about using computers to edit text, so it wasn't even on my radar :)

#263One of the reasons I still use both Emacs and Vim (yes I strangely use both) is because I can go execute them on a terminal (terminal, tmux, screen, etc).
There are just so many times I need to SSH into a machine. I know Emacs has some remote file editing capabilities but for some reason I never liked it (I can't recall why now... I think it was the need to sudo).
So I'm wondering what sublime text fans do for remote editing?

#265Amazing, I don't think i've ever used "beta" products for so long. Glad it's finally official!
I think I played Minecraft just before it went into beta and stopped playing it when it "came out". I don't know how long that was, but Sublime Text 3 beta certainly felt even longer. edit: correction, the beta of minecraft lasted only a year, so it definitely felt longer to me. Weird memory tricks eh.
I was going to say maybe you mixed up the alpha and beta version, but turns out Minecraft was only in alpha for six months. Weird, felt much longer for me too.

#266Can any active users comment on the package ecosystem. Active? Running into any problems?
Very active. I use a fair share of them, and they are updated regularly.
On the rare occasion that something breaks (Seti_UI theme, mostly. But to be fair, I installed it when it wasn't stable yet), fixes are often published the next day or at most in the next handful of days. In the meantime you can just disable a plugin and go ahead. But again, it happened rarely to me.
The only problem (that I'm aware of, correct me if I'm wrong) they ran into was the whole deal with Kite basically paying some plugin devs to hide spyware into their code. But that has been handled and solved, and lead to the creation of basic guidelines for plugin developments and extensive discussion of the forum. Devs were very responsive.

I use vim on remote machines. I don't like it, but it does the job.

#268I 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…
Really? One of the things that has kept me on Sublime is SublimeGit. It's fantastic.

#269I bought ST2 in 2013, and I'm a littled bummed they pushed the "your license works for ST3" back that far. They deserve more; I might buy another copy anyway. (My favorite editor is an Emacs clone called Epsilon. It hasn't been updated in a decade, but it still works great. On the other hand, it hasn't been updated in a decade and I think the writing is on the walls, and I'll have to move to something else. 25 years…
