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.
Instead of having to manage groups and the files within them, tab selections are very fluid and low overhead. From the user experience perspective, I think they are as fundamental as multiple selections and Goto Anything are.
There are some docs at https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/tab_multi-select.html. However, I recommend opening a folder and holding down ctrl/cmd when selecting files from the side bar, Goto File, tab bar, Definitions popup, etc.
It integrates well with ctrl+tab, and the Definitions navigation flow is pretty user-friendly.
I 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 c…
To me, VSCode competes with IDEs, Sublime competes with text editors. Startup speed accounts for a solid 95% of that distinction. If I need to make a quick edit to a file or write down a temporary (but reasonably persistent) note, the only tools I've tried that let me do that in less than 3 seconds are Sublime, Notepad, and Notepad++. Among those choices, Sublime is the clear winner in overall usefulness and function…
edit: My only gripe with VSCode currently is that it seems too eager to correct my typing.

Mostly, but allowing access during the window on an enduring basis is generally not typical of subscription models. This is more like dated entitlement than subscription. Most subscriptions have much stronger pressure to renew, including inability to install or download outside subscription period, version limits, software quits working, and, and, and...
It's the sketch model just extended out. At least with this you don't have a version blocker if someone sends you a file made in a newer version.
Happy to buy every version of Sublime that ever gets released.

I don't want to take any thunder away from Sublime but VSCode basically opens instantly on M1.
On my, 2015 Macbook pro (16 GB RAM)
and my 2012 Macbook pro (2 GB RAM).
Instantly.
Nothing else on my 2012 Mac opens that fast. Not MacVim. Not emacs. Not TextEdit. Not even the terminal.
> Sublime Text license keys are no longer tied to a single major version, instead they are now valid for all updates within 3 years of purchase. After that, you will still have full access to every version of Sublime Text released within the 3 year window. I really love this model.
I just wish it was a little cheaper. Every time I think about buying a license I realize it’s like 30-40 USD more than I expect and I chicken out

I agree, I think it's hugely discriminatory against majority of world.
TBH, the rest of the world will just pirate, and if they make a good income eventually that is more the international standard, they can buy with their own cash. I don't think sublime has top of the line DRM.

That would make my little embedded dev station just perfect! Would migrate it all to that new Pi 400.
