Lime Text: Open Source Sublime Text clone

I'm pretty happy with TextMate 2 at this point - pretty regular updates, mature eco system, continuous improvement and its open source.
The TM2 phenomenon is something weird. TM had a huge traction when it was payware. Then it stalled, then it went open-source and everybody started looking for a new payware solution. Apparently some people, still believe the theory that all you need to know about a product is on the price tag , which is absolutely false (e.g. emacs/vim have no price but are exceptional programmig editors, hardly matched by payware so…

I would love for Atom to make some progress. The last time I tried it I really liked it, however it was way too slow to be useful to me. There was a perceivable delay between when I typed a character and when it showed up on screen. This is a deal breaker for an IDE, IMHO. Then again, it is a really young editor and has a lot of room to grow and mature. So, here's to both Lime Text & Atom. May our text processing fut…
If you liked what you saw, you should try it again soon. There core editor components were rewritten in React, which lead to some noticeable performance gains: http://blog.atom.io/2014/07/02/moving-atom-to-react.html Beyond that, there are also more performance optimizations coming: https://github.com/atom/atom/pull/3154 The only two things I miss from Sublime are "find in project" and "go to symbol in project". Atom…
Re: Lime Text: Open Source Sublime Text clone
#84I applaud the open approach, but I don't see the need to reference Sublime Text to increase traction. Why not market this as a cool new feature rich editor implemented in Go (with the bonus of having all the ST / TextMate compatibility to go?) In fact, why does Lime reference Sublime Text at all?
- Compatible with Textmate color schemes (which is what ST is using) - Compatible with Textmate syntax definitions (which again is what ST is using) - Compatible with Textmate snippets - Compatible with Sublime Text’s python plugin API. I’ll probably never implement this 100%, only the api bits I need for the plugins I use. - Compatible with Sublime Text’s keybindings and settings (think most of it is working) - Compatible with Sublime Text snippets - Sublime Text’s Goto anything panel
Re: Lime Text: Open Source Sublime Text clone
#85Am I the only one who immediately wondered how Atom was doing when seeing this article? :D
Yes, me too. The last time I looked it was only for Mac users, which is totally wrong for a HTML based editor. Didn't mind looking a second time (until I hear some great buzz, I guess). I'm also curious about this vim reimplementation some guys are working on. I'll go and check that out right now!

#86If this can print, I'll move over when it's read. I adore Sublime Text but having to c&p out of it to print is a bit of an annoyance for me. Otherwise it's a perfect app, I adore it.
Out of interest, what do you print code from Sublime? Interested in hearing why you need to print code, if that's the case.
Personally, I pick a single text editor and use it for all my plain text editing needs.
I don't print very often, but when I do, I do it for a reason. Just the other day, I was creating some offline study information for my child. Printing was my only option.
I was editing away in Sublime and then when I went to print, I opened up the File menu and looked a second before I remembered... "Oh yeah, this application knows better than I do about my need to print". Muttering to myself, I copy/pasted the document into Word and continued on my way.
Re: Lime Text: Open Source Sublime Text clone
#87If there is one app I've always been thrilled to pay for, it's Sublime Text. I've purchased and renewed the licence ever since v1 came out. While it may not be open sourced, you can see it was created with a lot of love for code and openness. Today there are thousands of amazing plugins to enhance it. And though I fully respect the open source initiative, I, for once, am very happy to support / give some money to a p…

I suppose being open source doesn't stop you from giving user licenses for money, though. True, people can just use your program by violating your license. From coder to coder that is way less likely than, for instance, between the movie industry and the movie viewers, though. And being open source, even the violating users might add value to your product by fixing bugs and adding features.
> I suppose being open source doesn't stop you from giving user licenses for money, though. True, people can just use your program by violating your license. I don't follow your argument here. To qualify as "Open Source" rather than "source available", people have to be free to modify and redistribute the source code. So even if you charge for a license, there's nothing to stop the first licensee redistributing for f…

Same here. I'm a web developer in the US and I make $17 an hour... and that's at a major, international corporation. I think you and I are being shorted.
Re: Lime Text: Open Source Sublime Text clone
#90Personally I am using Sublime still but the next time I have to pay for a license won't be for sublime. Most likely going the IntelliJ Idea route.
Name for Lime Text is shameless :-) Come on you could have come up with something original !
