When sublime text gained it's traction, the scene was a little less crowded. Atom was not available at that time.
I think it gained traction on OS X. The dominant text editors for OS X at the time were Textmate and Coda. The development of Textmate stalled and people were looking for an alternative. Coda had a very different approach from Textmate (you were either a Textmate or a Coda gay/gal, never both), and Sublime really comes close to Textmate.
- hbbio 10y agoThanks. I use and love Sublime for a few years, I'm really curious about how the product found its audience. On Textmate forums? Did Jon post there himself?
- benbenolson 10y agoTIL Coda users are either female or homosexual. Never knew that choice of text editors was correlated with sexual preference.
- rolfvandekrol 10y agoHmm, stupid typo. Can't edit the comment anymore :(
