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…

I have tried Atom, many many times. But i always get annoyed by how SLOW it is.

I guess I don't really really notice it being slow (I'm on a new mb air nothing fancy), I've been using atom for 6 months now without any problems. I hear people often speak about it being slow and buggy, when specifically is it running slow so I can compare it to my own environment?

I love using atom, and sublime is nice but I haven't found a reason to purchase it and switch over yet.

I love the 'Goto Symbol (in Project)...' feature, but I really wish the input would be populated with text you have selected in the editor. This way you could jump to a function/whatever underneath the cursor by doing something like: Cmd-D, Cmd-(Shift-)R, Enter - instead of copy-pasting, or retyping the symbol. I added this to the mass of suggestions in the ST forum, but I guess it has been lost or rejected :(

Imho slow is one thing (I could probably even live with the performance) - the other thing is that font rendering in Atom is horrible. At least for me on Windows the text is blurry as hell. No comparison to the clearness in Sublime Text or other native editors (Visual Studio, Eclipse, Notepad, ...).

Brackets is better in that regard. Both brackets and Atom provide better extensability APIs than Sublime - but that doesn't help when the performance is worse than complete IDEs.

This is possible: Right click on Symbol, Goto definition. This can be easily mapped to a keybinding as well.

I believe it's already mapped to F12.

Sorry for bring this up , but this is my honest question , why should I use sublime ? what is specific about it ? Let me explain , If I wanna text editor there is Emacs ( and vim for vim user's ) , and if I want to have specific feature like IDE's have (auto complete , GUI debugger etc ) , then I can use Qt Creator/Code Blocks/etc (which I don't need , Because I am not IDE user) , then Why should I use sublime , It d…

IMHO, sublime is a lazy yet flexible editor, it has very fancy out-of-box experience, you don't have to download a lot of stuff from the internet and make your own customizations before you can finally gets started with what you intended to do few hours earlier. I know that both vim/emacs have very handy package manager, but they don't ship with vim/emacs.

I give ST a try for a few months a year or so ago. Maybe this is no longer true, but at the time, the first thing everyone did with ST is download and install Package Control, which is no more integrated with ST and doesn't really work any better than the Emacs equivalent (can't speak to Vim).

My impression was ST gives you something that is almost as powerful as Emacs or Vim without requiring nearly as big of a shift in how you deal with text in the other applications you use all the time. That and the fact that it looks prettier and more like a platform-native application I think explains the appeal. The amount of customization needed didn't seem all that much less to me.

The Sublime Package Manager doesn't ship with Sublime either
