I'm not meaning to take away anything from this announcement, which I think is great. But what options are there for collaborative coding in Sublime? (I don't use Atom) Having tried Floobits, the experience was ok. But I do a lot of pairing online with 0 day beginners, and need something as little setup as possible. ie. The students are able to install Sublime and Packages. Having to sign up for Floobits is just anot…

Not the answer you're looking for, but have you tried Visual Studio Code with VS Live Share (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MS-vsliv...)? It works really well for pair/swarm programming.

And the event-stream implementation will blow your mind.

Are you referring to the backdoor or is it actually a mind-blowing implementation?

I have a bought licence of subethaedit, from years and years ago. I still use it, but I never upgraded since I had to re-buy a licence to do so! Glad I waited. I still love the coloured changes for modified text in a document (that stay on after saving!), it's really really handy when working on a longish file to have quick visual clues when scrolling back/forth. I wish more editors had that.

yes, VS does this by default too and it's nice.

lots of editors have plugins (like git-gutter for sublime) that do this with VCS integration: highlight lines that were modified since last commit. for me, this is even better because it remains not just after saving the file but even after closing the file/editor and re-opening it.

combined with a minimap like sublime's which also shows the gutter annotations, i can navigate a many-thousand-line file with lightning speed.

This looked quite cool, 15 years ago. But if you never owned a mac.. too bad :P

I mean, I've always been around a high density of Macs and later MBPs (from ~2008 on) but I've also never seen people really use it. I guess it's because most coworkers in the office had the project's/company's standard IDE.

Oh nice. I forgot SubEthaEdit existed but it was first text editor on macOS before the TextMate hype in the early Rails days :-) While I support the right to release commercial products, I think it's very noble to open source things after a certain time, if only for the purpose of history and preservation.

BBEdit was probably the first editor for Mac OS X, though SubEthaEdit may have been first one native to OS X.
