VSCode is just as fast for opening 4 GB log files
Vim is not slower!

And yet, ST is closed source. Still a wild comparison. This isn’t just license preference either. I would imagine the efforts of the sublime lsp people would be greatly eased if they had access to the source. But nah zed bad because cla.
No it's not. I mostly find closed source application with clear lines more trustworthy than openwashed software. I'm a big Free Software supporter. For my personal projects, I only use (A)GPLv3 or later. However, I have a problem with software which comes with "GPLv3 BUT..." licenses. We have seen how CLAs weaponized against their contributors with rugpull license changes. Also, Zed was closed source at first. I had…
Does this apply if you use it same as Sublime? That is without collaboration / ai.

#183I'm a Sublime fanboy, but have been using VSCode for years as I like the Github Copilot integration :-(
Completely understand if Copilot is enough to make people want to switch over - but for me it wasn't, and I don't feel like I'm missing out with this setup.

Sublime Text team, thank you so much for creating the best tool out there! I truly appreciate the stability and simplicity of your product. My main request is to add a tool similar to Cursor Composer and Chat. Thank you again!
Long time Sublime customer here: Please, please do not add any LLM integrations. One of the main reasons I love Sublime is that I can just focus on writing code, without 100 distracting things popping in and popping out. Also, that I support a business with my money that does not spend resources on the LLM hype.

#185Sublime Text developer here, thank you for all the praise! I'm looking forward to what we can accomplish this year. If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer.
Hey! I'm a Sublime Text user since ST2 in 2011. I love ST (my last blog post is https://blog.separateconcerns.com/2025-01-04-teal-lsp-sublim... ) and I think the main thing lacking compared to the competition is the remote development experience. I work in AI so we typically work over SSH on machines with big GPUs. Most of my colleagues use VSCode because it has a very good Remote Development extension.
The only reason I moved away from subl is that I got access to a big ass machine and I needed to work remotely. The performance of VS code here is so good that often times I forget that the code and terminal is not my local machine.

Is there any chance we'd see a Sublime Debug? Loved Sublime Text and Sublime Merge. The main thing I'm missing in my life is a really good and fast cross platform UI for a LOT of debugger backends. (I tend to works with a lot of programming languages, and CLI debuggers are really clunky to use).

#188Maybe it's time I migrated off TextMate.

#190I used to love Sublime Text and used it for my daily driver. Even bought a license. But just downloaded it again, and while it definitely felt snappy, after 15 minutes I still couldn't find a way to get TypeScript type checking working, or even any type of JavaScript/TypeScript autocomplete.
