How is Sublime Text in 2024?
As good as it’s ever been, which for me is considerably better than VS Code.

#22At least they are being honest. If you look at release notes for the past year or so, almost every improvement is related to co-pilot. Thankfully, you can still disable all that garbage and just use it as a text editor.
They still aren't honest about the fact that the official VSCode distribution isn't fully open source because, for example: you can't have VSCodium connect to the official plugin repository. It also isn't the only editor with AI integration, and more specifically these systems use LLMs.
It would therefore be more honest to say that VSCode is "a visible source LLM code editor".

#23I guess there's a lot of pressure from Cursor and Google's Antigravity. Also with Zed you can bring your own API key which VS Code didn't support for a long time.

Do you mean "end of 2025"?

#25Im glad i moved from vscode to neovim last year, and since one month i’ve switched over to emacs, running doom (which gives you vim commands and much more).
I’ve set up LSPs, completions, etc and although one needs to read up a little bit at first, i feel that this could finally be a stable platform/ide for once, and i wouldnt need to jump ship every couple of years because of some enshittification.

#26This is the bit that gives me pause: > In certain markets, we use conversation data to train the generative AI models in Copilot, unless you choose to opt-out of such training. "Build me a SaaS platform exactly like ____" If agents become as good at long running tasks as we're told they will do by giving Microsoft access to your codebase and inner business processes to give to anyone that wants to the ability to clon…
I wonder if Microsoft allows its own code to be scanned.

#27So the war is finally declared on all VSCode forks.

Eventually they will need to come up with their own editor and plugins.
I don't expect traditional Microsoft to let this going on for much longer, this is the first sign of it.

#29I actually respect the move. It’s not subtle, and it’s not trying to please everyone. You may agree or not with the direction, but at least it’s clearly stated.

#30How is Sublime Text in 2024?
Rather than good I would say "same". Excellent text editor, very barebones for actual development work.
