Sublime 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.

Sublime’s behaviour isn’t an autosave, it just never loses text in a window. You can upgrade the entire OS, start Sublime and your windows and text will be waiting for you, regardless of saved or unsaved state. I’ve got five-year-old scratchpad windows open that I’ve never saved.
That's still my favorite feature of all, it even remembers the undo history. Never lost anything to a crash.

Hi! I was a Sublime Text fan throughout University, and I would have loved to continue using it. Unfortunately for me Sublime lacks too many necessities, and that forced me off Sublime and onto the much slower VSCode.

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).
I have found this plugin works surprisingly well https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Debugger
ST user who is on it still mostly just by inertia (learning tools is my least favorite part of the job) but really not getting the features I want/need from it. This'll help!
Kernel, compiler, text editor: all must be free software, with full source code and permissive licenses. I will die on this hill. Closed source editors (including VS Code) are simply nonstarters for me. This is my toolchain, my job, my life, my hobby, my passion. The legal prohibition on modifying it is against every single thing I sit down at a computer to do. It might sound snobbish, but if you can’t (or don’t) mod…

I don't use it much for programming, since I mostly use IntelliJ for that. Where Sublime shines for me is opening large files, and opening pretty much any file. So many times MacOS wants me to open a json file in Xcode, or a txt file in TextEdit, when all i want to do is open it in Sublime! And I know that i can open files that are multiple GB without issues, just takes a few seconds :P And the Ctrl-D shortcut and mu…

(There's also prob some way to do it from terminal, but I do it the above way)
I still use ST for basic editing, but for day-to-day, Zed is the go to, simply because it just helps me get my work done slightly faster.
PS I still pay for a ST License every 3 years <3

The latest build (4192), says it was released in "2024" when I think you mean to say "2025".
