With the same projects open, ST4 is using about half the memory of rosetta ST3.
The time to index my projects went from about 5 minutes to under a minute.
Searching across large projects is instantaneous.
> Sublime Text license keys are no longer tied to a single major version, instead they are now valid for all updates within 3 years of purchase. After that, you will still have full access to every version of Sublime Text released within the 3 year window. I really love this model.
Why's that? It depends how frequently a major release happens. If it stays at "4.x" for 5 years, I'd way rather have the "tied to a single major version" license :)
Hello HN, I'm one of the developers at Sublime HQ. We're all very excited about this release. If you have any questions you'd like to ask I'll do my best to answer them.
Congrats on the release! I was an avid user (and paying customer!) of ST1 and ST2. Somewhere along the way I switched to VS Code. Why should I use ST4 over VS Code today?

Jetbrains license works slightly different. You get a license and access to all updates released for duration. But if your license is not renewed at the end, you lose access to updates in the year/time since you bought the license. You still keep original version at the time you purchased license for as long as you want, though.
I'm fairly certain the Jetbrains subscription model is: (Edit, I had to look it up, the exact wording is:) "You will receive perpetual fallback licenses for every version you’ve paid 12 consecutive months for. Other notably nice app/programs that uses this or similar sane, friendly models including Sublime Text 4 and Jetbrains products: - Agenda (Mac, iOS) Planner/journal - Manic Time time tracker (Windows, maybe Mac…
I was a Sublime user, then Atom, and now I’m a VS Code user. In 2021, what reasons are there to use Sublime over VS Code? Performance is the only one that comes to mind, but there are surely others... right?
I tried VSCode and Sublime each for a month earlier this year. I was surprised to find myself deciding on Sublime at the end of it. It came down to performance but also clutter. Sublime is fast . But also, VSCode just had too many panels and bells and whistles. And VSCode's defaults were just all wrong . Like trying to autocomplete every other word when I'm typing text in a .txt file -- it's not even code! I couldn't…
I'm a Sublime devotee and have been anxiously awaiting this release and the support for Apple silicon. In my unsophisticated benchmarking, 100% worth the wait.

I just wish it was a little cheaper. Every time I think about buying a license I realize it’s like 30-40 USD more than I expect and I chicken out

It's not really much though... Software engineers make that in an hour or two, that's reasonable price for 3 years of updates of the primary tool... And it's a business expense. And as the sibling comment says, a game costs about the same.
$100 in an hour or two? Only in a small part of the world.
