- brianjking 9y agoWhat about Visual Studio Code? https://code.visualstudio.com/ https://code.visualstudio.com/ I haven't used it in a while, however, it was good when I did use it and seems to be improving all the time with a healthy set of extensions https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/VSCode https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/VSCode similar to Sublime Text's Package manager.
- purple-dragon 9y agoPlease correct me if I am wrong, but isn't VS Code Electron-based?
- brianjking 9y agoOops, I guess it is. From what I recall it wasn't nearly as much of a resource hog as Atom was though.
- purple-dragon 9y agoThat's been my experience as well.
- dragonwriter 9y agoThere are a number of free extensible programmer's editors that provide alternatives to Sublime Text that are not Electron based. (Emacs, Vim, Light Table, and others.) What, in particular, are you missing?

- theknarf 9y agoNotepad++ has existed for 14 years. Just searching text editors gives tons of alternatives. I'm certain I could find at least a 100 free / open-source ones, not to mention IDEs like Eclipse.
- guilhas 9y agoWin7 64, alot of bug lately. Crashing, slower start. Maybe because of plugins, but still. I use it, but have notepad3 as default.
