Idk, it's still best GUI editor in terms of performance, but I don't like it because
of the price and it's not open source(but I can see the price being justifiable).
I used ST2 for some time until I moved to Vim, and after few years of Vim I moved to Emacs.
And I think I've finally achieved what I wanted from the beginning, programmable environment.
Editing speed is not nowhere near close to my proficiency in Vim, but the things that
really make my code better in the end is not faster typing but REPLs, and all those nice
interfaces and plugins (I don't like to call Emacs plugins, plugins, because I believe
they are much more than that, they usually provide you completely new environment
with huge array of possibilities). So in the end I think it always comes down to Vim and Emacs.
You hit the limitations pretty fast with other editors, your needs and technologies you work with
change, so ST3 can be fine for you for some period, or much longer than it did for me, but I think
it is worth at least trying to learn one of those 2 pesky old editors that everybody goes crazy
about. Because people go crazy about them for a reason. ST3, hmm, not so much.
- jordanlev 10y agoI believe the parent was asking about the tutorial, not the editor itself
- Philipp__ 10y agoMy bad, I thought of editor.
- brogrammernot 10y agoTo be fair, since you're someone who uses VIM it's not really fair to compare VIM vs an IDE or Editor like sublime.
- Philipp__ 10y agoI don't use Vim now. And it's good that you said that, cause I never used Vim as an IDE always felt wrong using it like that, but that's just my opinion.
- jordache 10y agoThe JS intellisense in Sublime is extremely slow.
- bpicolo 10y agoI go crazy about ST3. Don't feel the need to turn it into a silly holy war, though. Sublime Text is great. I much prefer it to Vim/Emacs for my day-to-day.
- sreenadh 10y agoI too have come to that conclusion and I have started to learn VIM. Emacs is scary. How is spacemacs? Thats seems like the new cool kid in the block.
- Philipp__ 10y agoI didn't like spacemacs, but that's just me. Whole point of Emacs for me is customizing it to your own liking, spacemacs feels just forced to me. Even Emacs+EVIL feels much better, but then again, that is just me.
- Sir_Cmpwn 10y agospacemacs kind of misses the point, I think. It feels very, very bloated.
