Nice, but I wonder how much time has Sublime left now that VSCode, which is better and free, is out.

- kitsunesoba 10y agoVS Code is very good for what it is but there are still some telltale web app cracks and gaps scattered about, and of course its resource usage is considerably higher than Sublime's (I'm seeing ~240MB RAM usage on a fresh install with no documents open). I suspect that until these two factors are fixed there will still be those who prefer Sublime.
- roywiggins 10y agoI've tried firing up VSCode in a VM and found it unusably slow, whereas Sublime is fine.
- MikusR 10y agoWhat OS are you using that has no native VS code support?
- scott_karana 10y agoHe could also be _working_ in a VM, when his host OS supports it but he's not using the host at the time.

- rvanmil 10y agoPlenty of time as long as VSCode is running on Electron.
- trishume 10y agoVSCode is better in some ways for a couple languages that it has nice debuggers for. Otherwise Sublime has a lot on it. Sublime is faster and is crazy polished. It also has a larger plugin ecosystem.
- coldtea 10y ago"Better" if you don't care for performance. Or memory usage. Or GC pauses.
- mikestew 10y agoWell, you got one of the three right.
- p0nce 10y agoFor the time being, nothing beats the polish that went into Sublime Text.
