I've been running the last stable build happily since August. Running this new build causes all four cores in my rmbp to spin up to 99% repeatedly (Activity Monitor says it's Sublime) and the fans to go wild. Is this happening to anyone else? I had to revert to the previous version which fixed it :(

nope

Similarly for me.

On every file change ST status bar says - indexing files. And it takes > 10s (I have a lot of files). When it does that - 2 CPU cores are loaded at 99%.

Opened the console (@jskinner suggested to enter sublime.log_indexing(True)) and there was a message that index is corrupted and I have to remove it. Index is located in:

/Users/bumbu/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Index

Removing all the files from that folder did the trick.

Honestly, I've never seen another product here getting a post for every minor build! Nice to see such a die-hard fan base! But, please, face the reality - many have moved over to Atom already and are not looking back. Atom is alive, the ecosystem is already huge, atom-shell is getting popular as well. Unless Sublime gets open-sourced, it's in a slow agony. Remember TextMate? It had a huge loyal user base, but who is…

OT: What are some tips (or plugins) to be more productive on ST3?

I find it helps to browse popular user packages: https://packagecontrol.io/browse/popular

Most of the productivity gains I get from Sublime are from packages like Emmet, DocBlockr and my own custom macros.

It's slow with huge source files, agreed, but you shouldn't have huge source files anyway.

You've never wanted to open a multi-megabyte data file in a text editor before? "You shouldn't be opening large files in it anyhow" is a cop-out. My text editor needs to edit whatever text files I throw at it. Choking on too-large a file is a showstopper.

Atom has a 2MB file limitation. That's why I wouldn't use it professionally yet.

http://www.sublimetext.com/forum is a better place for this, but as a stopgap you can disable file indexing via the index_files setting. You can also find out more about what indexing is taking place by entering sublime.log_indexing(True) in Sublime Text's console.

> But, please, face the reality - many have moved over to Atom already and are not looking back. I seriously doubt it. First, people kept using TextMate when it was dead for 3 years or so. The most ST3 has been idle was 6-7 months, and before and after that the update pace (for dev releases) was great. Second, it's not like anything major was missing from the editor even 2 years ago, or that it stopped working or any…

Atom is not that slow in practice... except the slow startup, for daily business it's fine - I'm using it with a full suite of linters and autocomplete plugins on the older MacBook Air and it's not laggy.

I've made a few attempts to use Atom on a daily basis. Unfortunately, I continued to experience crashes with the linter, autocomplete, and Haskell-related plugins--or the plugins would work, only to break during the next Atom update. It also wasn't possible to use my favorite ligature-based font without breaking the cursor position. Not to mention the rendering/performance issues.

There's a lot to admire about Atom. But Sublime is stable and silky smooth. And I continue to use Vim happily every day without issue, despite its ~25 year age.
