It doesn't seem like Sublime ships with the Typescript language server by default, not sure if I'd call syntax highlighting as support.

#32I 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?
With Sublime Text, I enjoy not having to turn off data collection and thinking about if updates enable them again.
Try VSCodium

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…
Now that you say it, I also feel that VSCode defaults are wrong. It’s a bunch of small things that feel off.

#35I'm a IntelliJ/WebStorm user (I use IntelliJ but for mostly JS/TS/X), what's the level of support for these tools vs VS Code for example?
It colors the words, mostly

I prefer the performance, design, configuration management and plugin ecosystem of Sublime to VSCode. I also found Sublime Merge growing on me despite not intending to use it, so I think it's something about how the developers think, not just the one tool I've gotten used to.
I don't know how to describe it, but there are a lot of little aggravations Sublime avoids.
What Sublime doesn't have anymore is the community zeitgeist. I definitely feel more like I'm sticking to tried-and-true as a user these days, than something innovative, even though it's still innovative.

It's the same support we supply for every language. Syntax highlighting drives our goto-definition, goto-symbol, auto-complete and more.

This repo seems to disagree: https://github.com/sublimelsp/LSP-typescript (please correct me if I am wrong, I can't test it now)
Perhaps you need to install TypeScript compiler into the project? VSCode bundles that too, ST4 might not.

#39I like how I started years ago by saying “Notepad sucks, let me try Notepad++ and Sublime Text”. Now it’s almost an IDE, but still a great text editor!
I find it hard to believe anyone would use Notepad past the “wow I can edit this HTML file” phase. I found PSPad years before I started working.

#40I feel bad using VSCode after years of supporting Sublime (by purchasing a license). However the one case where I do use sublime repeatedly? When I need to open an editor QUICKLY. It boots faster than VSCode, and frankly, it finally broke me of my constant habit of VIMming now that I have it on my mac, win and linux boxes. I am eager to try V4, but I'm so deep in VSCode now, I don't know if I can find my way out! I can even cross compile C and debug in VSCode!
