How does Sublime Text compare to VScode for you? I am curious about the choice between the two, and why one would be better.

- cik 8y agoI can't Sublime in any way - and I say that having tried TextMate on OSX a decade or so back. Sublime just isn't VIM in so many different ways, it hurts. Neither is VSCode - but the varying tradeoffs are solidly worth it (IMHO). I've also JetBeans'd (2001-2003) with varying success, and have been trying PyCharm on and off since 2014, just due to the promise. They're not there - or at least not enough. JetBeans constant need to move my profiles around (literally they change per version) has made my strategy of having revision control sync things throughout a nightmare. Also, due to some files being binary - I just couldn't. VSCode - and especially now that I have the global tasks plugin has simply blown my mind. Every (python django) repository I have has a wrapper script, as part of my tooling - I simply have vscode call that. Now, I have several commands I used to jump to a terminal for, run within code, in a collapsed terminal. It's great. My #1 use for that is a profiler and runserver. In dev, I always, always want them running. It's much the same for other languages - and my environment.
- kstrauser 8y agoI loved Sublime Text for years, but it gave me every impression of being dead on the vine. Since it's proprietary, there's not the option of forking it to add my own features and fixes. I personally find VSCode to be at least as good as ST in every way, and much better in many.
- gianpaj 8y agoout of curiosity. Have you added features or fixes to VSCode?
