I really wish that Sublime would add an integrated terminal panel. None of the packages I’ve tried that do add a terminal view, work the way the way I want them to. It’s really the one feature that’s holding me back from even trying to switch away from VS Code.

I prefer having my terminals separate from my editor, personally

Same here. I was a huge terminal in editor user, but VSCode crashed on me a couple of times resulting in restarting all the terminals and the processes which I was running. Since then I always use an external terminal.

Hello HN, I'm one of the developers at Sublime HQ. We're all very excited about this release. If you have any questions you'd like to ask I'll do my best to answer them.

Is the team considering making an "HTTP Client, done Sublime" at some point?

what do you mean? like a Postman? a browser?

What's the best way to have both Sublime 3 and 4 on my Mac? Would it be to rename 3 in ~/Applications and its subl to subl3, then download 4 and let it run as-is?

I don't use sublime on my day to day, but I'm always happy to purchase their new licese when a new version ships for this reason.

Version 4 accepted my version 3 license purchased in january 2019. Yay me!

Yes accepts a max 3 year old v3 license. Mine is 8 and been worth it, just not another 70$ now that I’m force learning myself vi :-) 3 will remain fine for the quick things I want it to do

It's software like Sublime that sustains my faith in the software industry and why I'm still a developer. It's beautiful, efficient software that single-handedly proves that desktop software in 2021 doesn't have to be a shit, low quality side show to SaaS "apps" and mobile. Heaven knows what their code looks like. Perhaps it's best it never goes open source so we can sustain the Opera-esque magic of a <10MB binary th…

Their Git client (Sublime Merge) is the first graphical git tool I've felt happy with.

Same. I've used a lot of git UI tools in the past (SourceTree, TortoiseGit, GitKraken, Tower, GitHub Desktop, SmartGit to name a few), but when I first tried out Sublime Merge I was blown away and never looked back. It was insanely fast. The UI makes sense and intuitive. Plus the killer feature which is customizable commands in every menu you can think of.

For these instances I just use vim or sed/awk/etc.

Sublime easily handles files that make my Vim slow to a crawl. Agreed on using sed/awk/(rip)grep/other pipeline tools where it makes sense.

Vim is for skunks.

I've upgraded and it was super smooth. Thanks for that! One question remains, how can one disable the title bar on gnome to preserve space?

Sublime is blazingly fast for all its features. I hope there will be similar UI for NeoVim in the near future (no Electron please). There is OniVim, but it dropped the NeoVim as an engine, which is quite sad.

You might want to check out Neovide.

Yes, something that could do what Postman does.

In what way? I have used Sublime2 and 3, which might feel faster, VS Editor (I think is the name), much heavier, and Atom I think is the other. Never felt "wow, this is the future".

UltraEdit is clunky, the UI is very dated and the fonts are not well rendered. It's not fast and has a large lack of theme support (there's no solarized theme for it, which is industry standard at this point). I just didn't like it and would rather use a more modern editor, e.g. sublime. Only took a day or two to write the required plugins to get our language support for it.

I cannot disagree more with all that omyou said.

The UI can be whatever you want.

It has themes, and I understand you can create your own.

I don't see how sublime is more modern. For me are very similar.
