Sublime Text is not free. You're free to try it out and it won't stop you, except for the reminder pop-up. That doesn't make it free though, you still need a license.

No gentoo, no perl, and no emacs in the $1 pack :/
Although I'm a vi user, I have to respect that they give you the the Emacs sticker the pack labeled "Elite" :)

Well yeah, emacs users are elite :)
If you really prefer the vi syntax, there is even an "evil mode" for emacs - https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil

#35I'm over all of this "free" stuff.
When the service transitions to being 10 dollars per month without notice (looking at you, Trello) how many times can you say "just add it to my tab"?
I'm only using self hosted, open source solutions from now on. Been burned too many times in the past, and yes, I do pay for some services - but that doesn't stop the providers from increasing the price or even discontinuing the service (Google) at any time

Nope, You're are not a real emacs user unless you use real emacs with real emacs key bindings.
(uEmacs is okay too).

Sorry, but I have no knowledge and do not understand what "editing remote" means? What is the use case? The source files are in a shared network directory, but VS code (the editor) is on my machine? Or is it something different? Where would the compiler reside? Will the Compile/Build be executed on my machine? Edit: found some answers: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/remote-overview
The source files can be on a remote machine but you still get great GUI editor support.
Of course emacs supported remote editing since mid 90's ;)

Please, please think this through on a case-by-case basis. Adopting some poorly-maintained FOSS solution just because it's free instead of paying $10/mo isn't always the right choice. It creates a lot of tech debt that you or someone else has to pay down later, often at a MUCH higher cost.
Something like postman, for example, is easily a multi-month or year project for a big team of devs to create/maintain. I've been using the free version for years and it's saved an amazing amount of time. I'd use the paid version if I had a bigger team.
Something like Cloudflare is a whole different scale altogether. Their free tier is a loss-leader for their enterprise plan, but even the free tier is better than most paid CDNs out there. And good luck trying to replicate that on a FOSS stack and shared infrastructure.
If you're worried about secret billing, either don't provide your billing info to begin with, cancel trial subscriptions as soon as you start them (usually they won't expire until the end), or use a virtual CC# service like privacy.com.

Man, sometimes being an evil-mode user feels like being the red-headed stepchild...
That's okay though, I quite like that I can use Emacs like a souped-up vim, especially when Emacs sometimes does vim-like better than even vim could in so many workflows.

So it's like WinRAR?
