I may see your first point, but how is GPL3 worse than a closed source software?
Corps usually have problems with gpl software being used.
Everyone knows if you touch GPL you get cooties

The code might be GPLv3, which is my favorite license BTW, but they have a "nice" CLA [0] and Privacy Policy [1] which doesn't inspire confidence.
I think CLA is a nuanced thing, since Eclipse also has one and didn't rugpull anyone ever, but their Privacy Policy states that the tool is chockful with telemetry and can collect any personal and non-personal data as they see fit.
When somebody tells that you can opt-out of this, I have a hard time believing that the switches are connected to anything.

Re: I still like Sublime Text
#43Sublime Text is _the_ Swiss knife of all text editors: - Loads up fast, supports tons of very useful packages (e.g. TextPastry, SQLTools), extremely customisable. - Multi-cursors, multi-panes (e.g. with Origami), spellcheckers, extremely fast filesystem integration/browsing/preview (whether with/without projects and workspaces), color/UI schemes, syntax highlighting, search browsers, Git support (particularly when us…

What algorithm?

#45Maybe it's time I migrated off TextMate.
Is TextMate still being maintained? Last time I looked, there were very few signs of life. If that is accurate, the clock is ticking until Apple inevitably drops Rosetta support on Apple Silicon Macs sometime in the (probably not too distant) future.

#46Sublime was going great at some point and I guess the dev burned out churning new releases every week. So it got abandoned for a good amount of time. Something like 2 years. At the same time Atom and VsCode came in with all the good ideas from Sublime. I hope they made tens of millions during the height of its popularity.

I'm shocked at how often I'd see software engineers making software engineer salaries not pay for Sublime.
Re: I still like Sublime Text
#47Sublime is still my top choice for opening big data files, and there’s nothing wrong with it. But, since VS Code is becoming the new lingua franca code editor, I made the switch so as to play nice with others going forward.
Re: I still like Sublime Text
#48Same. I tried zed but it doesn't come close.

It's GPL. How is the license not the best?
Re: I still like Sublime Text
#49I use sublime as a copy paste buffer when I need excellent visual regex search and replace. Vscodes regex search has awkward semantics (or at least I don't know them as well as sublimes) so I usually paste things into sublime, edit them with the regexes, then go back to what I was doing. My work has some extensions that only work in vscode so I'm stuck with it but it's good enough. I also never close sublime tabs and it persists them indefinitely with minimal memory usage, so I sometimes go back to grab things I was doing a few days ago. Definitely not the intended use but it works really well for me.
