Since I've been coding more, I was looking to make the switch from Notepad++ to Sublime Text, which is what everyone seems to recommend. I found this tutorial and went through it over the past few days. At first, I couldn't see the difference between ST and Notepad++, but now really see how well ST works. The key for me was having my own code open contemporaneously and trying what I was learning on my own code.
Anyways, definitely increased my productivity greatly! Thought I would share.
- thanatropism 10y agoI find ST to be crashy, particularly if you pile on a few plug-ins. Notepad++ was a breath of fresh air in that department.
- vortico 10y agoInteresting, I've never experienced a ST crash. Using Linux and Windows.
- thanatropism 10y agoDownvotes, really?
- joshschreuder 10y agoI've had the plugin host crash a handful of times in the last 5 years, but never had the editor itself crash due to plugins. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's why the plugin host exists in the first place.
- veidr 10y agoThe plugin host only exists in the beta version (v3), though, right?
- joshschreuder 10y agoNot sure, you might be right. I have been using v3 for a long long time now, so I can't say for sure.
- kowdermeister 10y agoI remember when ST came out I immediately switched to it simply because of the aesthetics. I spend most of my time staring at code, it better look good.
- vlunkr 10y agoST is cross platform where Notepad++ isn't. That's at least one advantage.
- thatsadude 10y agoI made the same switch 6 years ago. Occasionally, I miss the way Notepad++ showing binary file, Sublime will just show the hex code. I tried to pick up Atom/Visual Code last year but gave up. Sublime is fine for me.
- pawadu 10y agoI have been very happy with VS Code. Did you encounter any particular problems?
