If anybody is looking for a more "pro" ui theme, try monokai.pro/sublime-text. You have to buy a license though. It's actually made by the same guy who created the original monokai theme. There is a vscode version as well.

It's highly likely that OP simply stumbled upon it, or someone recommended it, and now he learned it and is used to it and knows how productive it can be. Thing is, same is true for any other good IDE, of which there are plenty. Personally, it always blows my mind that people don't use VIM :) if they actually spent 5-20hours learning VIM correctly they would not touch these inferior pretty looking UIs
You can have your cake and eat it too. There are some really great vim plugins for Sublime Text, including one that uses NeoVim. For me, Sublime Text is basically Vim with an nice UI and some IDE features built in. And Goto Anything. I wouldn't want to live without Goto Anything.
They're always inferior editing experiences, these vim bolt-on plugins. Missing key features like 'jk' mash escaping and other remapping support.

Whereas I view vim as simply a necessary evil and I mean "necessary" in the sense that I want to edit something over ssh. Bret Viktor's oft-quoted "Inventing on Principle" talk touches on this subject where a lot of research has shown that bimodal editors are worse. While I can't argue for how true that statement is, it's certainly been my experience. I always find it jarring to think I'm in command mode but I'm actu…
You don't know the right vim / emacs users then :)

#334Sublime's startup time (even before 3.0) never failed to amaze me, especially compared to Atom and VSCode.
And now it starts even faster.

#335I 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…
As per http://www.lugaru.com/, they released an evaluation version of epsilon on 2017-09-01, so just 12 days ago.

I prefer VSCode if the hardware can handle it, but otherwise Sublime is my goto. If Sublime ever had as good Git support as VSCode I would permanently switch back to Sublime
I've been very satisfied with https://github.com/divmain/GitSavvy and GitGutter. Together they are how I do almost all of my git.
another vote for gitgutter. jumping to the next changed hunk in my currently open file is a life-changer.

#338I see the author, jskinner, is hanging out on this thread! Have you ever considered open-sourcing SLT? This is your only route to immortalize this amazing piece of software. I'm sure you'd receive immense community contributions and widespread support. If you switch to a donation model + enterprise support plans, I think you're likely to earn greatly more than you currently do. I love SLT and have used it throughout…
Sometimes I wonder why there isn't a model, where its Author put up after Number of Copies sold, it will be open sourced. Of Coz it wont be a small amount. It could be 25,000 copies. But then lot of companies, whom may like Sublime, could spend and join the race.
If you spend years taking the risk and building a piece of software; why give it away once it's successful?

I could never find one that is as well thought and as well written as Sublime, and I've tried many, many others before.
Switched from Sublime to VSCode a few months ago and I've found it better to my needs. It's free
I love Code. It's one of Microsoft's greatest masterpieces.

For a piece of software that enables your career, helps you to provide for yourself and/or family, that you probably utilize for thousands of hours over a given year? ST3 is continuously improved. They are developers. They eat. They have families. Just like you receive a salary, because the software you work on, probably is never done. Why would anyone feel entitled to improvements for a flat rate? Is that not greedy…
> [...] that you probably utilize for thousands of hours over a given year Assuming 4hs net per day, 20 days/month, 12 months .. thats 960 hours/year And that's assuming that you spent all those 4 hours _entirely_ on your text editor; no cli, no browser, no nothing.. only text editor. I'd say that on avg we should be doing ~200 hours per year.. Are there any study about this?
Are you suggesting that everyone with an 8-5 job works in Sublime Text for at most 4 hours of the day?
