Sublime is extraordinary. It's one of the softwares I've loved the most, by far. Even today, it's always opened and I use it for quick fixes and code browsing. However, despite my fondness for it, VS Code, and now Cursor, have largely taken over for me. Cursor, in particular, has literally completely transformed how I code. And yes, it's slower and more bloated, but the value-added of Cursor is worse it.
Bloated compared to sublime, yes. But VScode is absolutely lightweight compared to something like eclipse or one of those other heavyweight enterprise Java IDE’s. Cursor is lightweight but have you ever seen the amount of memory that thing seems to consume? Holy mother of silicone.

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.
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…

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.

I bought sublime text 3 over a decade ago. What are the top new features of sublime text 4 that make it worth upgrading too?
We list the big ones on our front page: * GPU rendering * Apple & Linux arm64 support * Tab multi-select * context-aware auto-complete * TypeScript, TSX and JSX syntax support * Much more powerful syntax engine * Adding python 3.8 for plugins Some personal standouts not listed are: * Syntax-aware code folding * Mixed-indentation highlighting ("draw_white_space" setting) * Kinetic scrolling on Linux * Preserved undo h…

> Emacs and Neovim are things one gets into in ones free time and gets good enough to make the switch at some point at the job. I'd probably never end up proficient with vim (and today neovim) if I didn't do the complete opposite of this and forced myself to use it for real work directly. True, I went a bit slower for one/two weeks, but if you really have to use something foreign for most of your work, you'll learn i…
I would be curious to know how you managed to do this. I really tried to do this but the tons of dev tools I am using was too much for transitioning to neovim for my daily work. Namely, I need a DAP, multiple dev tools (lsps, linters, formatters) because I work with several projects which do not have the same tools[^1]. Luckily, I do not mix multiple programming languages. Plus, I containerize all my dev env. There m…
DAP is trickier to set up but is doable. How often are you really debugging though? In the beginning just run both neovim and your ide and just switch when you debug.
Back when LSP wasn’t a thing I still used vim but would just switch to an IDE when I needed to go code exploring and needed to be able to jump to definition and stuff like that. Wasn’t a big deal and was worth it to use both tools because vim is such a superior method for editing text.
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.
