I've recently switched from Sublime Text to Atom. I've used Sublime for a few years and was very unimpressed when I first installed Atom 2 years ago. For a long time it remained slow and clunky, but recently not only did they improve performance significantly but also made the whole user experience much easier and pleasant.
I suggest taking a look at Atom before spending money on Sublime. The number of plugins and extension is just enormous. You might get surprised.
- randomsofr 10y agoI tried to use Atom for a while, but it becomes slow once you load a few projects. With Sublime or Vim i can have more than 4 instances and it stills runs smooth, but Atom starts lagging and feels heavy.
- level 10y agoAtom tends to be my go-to, but being built on Electron is what hurts it the most, in my opinion. I don't reboot my work machine often, only for updates, which means that having 2 or 3 projects (in 2 or 3 windows) can eat a lot of memory if it has been open for a while. It's frustrating having to restart my editor because the Electron window gets stale and needs to be closed.
