I've been a big fan of VS Code but the latest updates have shown Microsoft simply can't shake their addiction to bloating software with unnecessary features, so likely back to Sublime Text I go.
I've been running vscodium for a couple of years now, and they rip out the MS specific stuff so no ChatGPT and so forth. I haven't noticed any slowdowns. Maybe give it a try? https://vscodium.com/
I love Sublime Text. It's one of my favorite pieces of software. I have it running 100% of the time on every machine I work on. It's where I write all of my personal notes, blog posts, and it's where I wrote both "Game Programming Patterns" and "Crafting Interpreters". At the same time, it's not the tool I use as an IDE. For programming, I use whatever IDE is dominant for the language I'm working in. Over time, that'…
Out of curiosity, what is it about an IDE that you find useful...? I'm probably just a heathen, but I've always done the build/run steps on the command line, and Sublime has LSP for all the syntax & semantics goodies other than that -- like for Python, I've got Ruff (syntax), Jedi (semantics), and CoPilot (autocomplete) running happily, with what I feel is an impressive amount of configurability. Are people just work…
* Automated type-based code navigation: go to definition, find all uses, etc.
* Auto-complete: Personally, I prefer simple auto-complete based on static analysis over AI "hope for the best"-style auto-complete.
* Debugger with all the bells and whistles: Step in and out, inspect variables, modify variables, breakpoints, conditional breakpoints, etc.
* Automated refactoring: Rename, etc.
Most text editors can do most of those, but I find that good debugger integration is rare outside of a dedicated IDE.

For starters, I love the licensing, as it is very fair: I bought a personal license and I can take it to as many machines as I have (I do use many different computers). And you can buy it one time, no silly monthly subscription fees. As a result, Sublime ist the only commercial (locally installed) software I still use, and it is always open. There are situations, where I use macros, regex substitutions, or browsing t…
It's not a one-time purchase if you consider updates. > Personal licenses are a once off purchase, and come with 3 years of updates. After 3 years, an upgrade will be required to receive further updates.[0] Tbh I think this is fair, but it surprises me every 3 years when I have to pay up again xD [0]: https://www.sublimehq.com/store/text
It's one of my favorite piece of software. Obsidian being another one.
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.
Please fix the bug if possible with Sublime Merge where the UI just becomes completely unresponsive... it always happens due to using it on a workspace and its so annoying to force close and reopen it every day! I love sublime merge otherwise!
Firstly, thanks for using it and supporting us!
If you haven't already, it would help immensely to get a bug report here: https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_merge/issues/new/choose
I'll definitely look into this further and get it sorted

absolutely loving SublimeMerge!
Another happy customer of Sublime Text here, but still not dare to take the step to buy SublimeMerge, I'm pretty well served in console for my git use, except for 'git blame' that I prefer to do in a UI tool, but SublimeMerge blame support is awful.
I'd love to hear your feedback on how we can improve the blame functionality! I can look into getting anything resolved there.
I'm going to comment on sublime merge since I see others have. (I'm a paid user and paid again for the latest year or whatever the term of support is). To be honest, I'm not sure what this product does or does better than all the other similar apps. VSCode has git tools. There's gitlens add on. There's also github's git UI app and some other ones. https://git-scm.com/downloads/guis In all of them I see diffs. I can s…
apparently I can't edit that previous comment so to add sublime merge * I want to see blame and modified dates for folders and files. This lets me look at folders and find the one that has a recent change and then glance at the files and see which ones changed recently. Maybe that feature is in there but "View Tree" is not it. That shows a plain tree. No modified dates, no people VSCode VSCode loads that project remo…
Thank you for taking the time to share all this feedback - I genuinely appreciate it and will be looking into this further.
A couple of things to note:
> It puts headings on diff sections. I want to copy text that from Sublime Merge and search for the identifier in my editor. Sorry, S.O.L.
I've just added support for this internally, thank you for the feedback!
> I want to search for things across changes - sorry, S.O.L. - "someIdenifier" doesn't exist in the current code. When was it deleted? Let me search.
You can use the search tool (Ctrl + F) and add the query `contents: someIdentifier`. It will return every commit which contains that term within the changes.
Thanks again for the feedback!
