Tried it once or twice. But using VS Code (with Git lens extension) predominantly these days. Couldn't find anything VS Code can't do that Sublime can.
- zenexer 8y ago
  VS Code can't handle very large files (multi-GiB), but Sublime can.
  - zamadatix 8y ago
    Does anybody know of a decent benchmark on editor latency? I swear Sublime feels more responsive vs VS code but that could just be in my head.
    - azeirah 8y ago
      There is a great benchmark somewhere on Github, it measures 5-ish metrics, like key->rendered latency, time to load 100MB file, and stuff like that. Apparently, the Joe editor was the fastest, and Sublime has basically first or second place for most metrics. Atom crashed for a few metrics :P I don't know if I could find it for you... but it's out there somewhere, maybe someone here has it bookmarked.

    - Strom 8y ago
      There's one from 2017, but it's probably not too accurate for things like VSCode anymore. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13933128 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13933128

      For pure typing latency, here's a fairly rigorous one from three years ago: https://pavelfatin.com/typing-with-pleasure/ https://pavelfatin.com/typing-with-pleasure/ It doesn't include VS Code, but it does describe the benchmarking process and the provided tool is simple to use. On my current setup, VS Code 1.32.1 is ~5ms slower than Sublime Text 3.2: 16.2ms vs 10.8ms respectively.

    Is that all? I can swear I'll never encounter such a huge text file as a programmer. There are other ways to interact with those than open up in an editor.
    - rovr138 8y ago
      As someone else’s anecdote, I have. Log files can easily grow, database exports as well.
      - syspec 8y ago
        I use sublime as a text editor for such files, but other IDEs (in my case webstorm) for everything editing project code
      - h1d 8y ago
        Either you should split the files when exporting (split database schema from data and for each table or by date etc for logs) or grep to filter out than open up GB size in an editor as you'll have problem navigating anyway. You don't want to use 'find' inside the editor for that kind of size.
        zenexer 8y ago
        Or you can use Sublime, where it's not an issue. Find works just fine on large files.
- protomyth 8y ago
  Keyboard macros are my sticking point. VS Code doesn’t go them easily.
- matmg 8y ago
  Sublime doesn't take half a minute to start in a non-ssd hard disk. Sublime feels more lightweight and doesn't have as much lag when typing as VS Code.
  - bluedino 8y ago
    Not to mention the battery drain of VS/Atom
    - zenexer 8y ago
      That's definitely a big one for me. Sublime barely uses any battery, but VS Code gobbles it.

nukeop 8y ago
Those who do not understand Emacs are condemned to reinvent it, poorly. On a more serious note I could never understand why a closed source editor gained any traction among developers, especially when it lacks many, many features other more mature editors have had for years. Any Sublime users here that could provide their reasons for sticking with it?
- sntran 8y ago
  I can't say for others, but for me, Sublime was the quickest standalone editor that I can download, run, and open big files really fast. I haven't found the same speed with Atom or VSCode.
  - steveeq1 8y ago
    What about vim?
    - h1d 8y ago
      I think it's safe to say vim/emacs are different things than sublime/vs code/IntelliJ. They're ok when there are no alternatives like during SSH session but I've given up customizing after 10 years to make them act like any of the latter ones. Why would I pay for IntelliJ if I could or someone had already made easy to use plugin to just make them act like modern editors?
    - theli0nheart 8y ago
      We all know that's just an unfair comparison.
      - steveeq1 8y ago
        How so?
        theli0nheart 8y ago
        I mean, find the biggest file you can open with Vim, and then find the biggest file you can open with any other full-fledged editor. I doubt most full-fledged editor will be able to handle a 5GB+ log file, much less perform a search / replace within a reasonable amount of time. Vim just has a lot less going on under the hood by default and is built for this. In short, I guess I'm agreeing with your original post. Vim is just on another level when it comes to performance versus other editors so it's kind of unfair to pit them together.

I've been putting off buying the license for far too long, but now it really does seem like I have no reason not to!
- sinalc0 8y ago
  I have a license for SublimeText for long already, but never tried SublimeMerge, because of the missing integration. But I like the release and consider supporting SublimeMerge as well. Does anyone now the current price? The site does not show the price for me.
  - teilo 8y ago
    Wondering as well. If you click "Pay by Card" you get a Stripe pop-up, also with no price.
    - Gigablah 8y ago
      Paying with PayPal reveals the price to be $99.
- johnflan 8y ago
  I have been tempted many times to buy a licence, but every-time I go to pay the price puts me off.
  - tgsovlerkhgsel 8y ago
    Especially since it seems to have gone up every time I look at it (now at $80), and you don't even buy it for life: at some arbitrary point a new version will come out, and you'll not only have to pay again, all your plugins will also be thrown into a hellish split like Python experienced where half of them will work only on the new one and half of them only on the old one for a couple years.
- Corrado 8y ago
  I purchased ST2 and the upgrade ST3 and I have never regretted it. I literally spend multiple hours a day using ST and couldn't get along without it. For me, it has paid for itself a thousand times over.
JorgeGT 8y ago
Major changes include: * Git integration in the sidebar: https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/git_integration.html https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/git_integration.html * Diff tracking in the gutter: https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/incremental_diff.html https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/incremental_diff.html While there are packages that provide diff tracking (I've been using GitGutter for a long time) these changes will finally allow themes to visually customize both the git status in the sidebar tracking and the gutter marks, which is great news!
- giu 8y ago
  The Incremental Diff feature is awesome. IntelliJ IDEA has this feature by default, and I find it really useful.
  - h1d 8y ago
    Can't live without. Right click to revert or show diff of that hunk is real helping.
- stinos 8y ago
  Combined with Sublime Merge which can be opened e.g. from the side bar and for open files this is pretty great indeed.
- patates 8y ago
  I wish they could abstract away the VCS integration as an API and others could be added.
g105b 8y ago
Is it possible to drag/drop files in the sidebar yet? Or even right click cut/paste? Last time I tried Sublime it was impossible to move a file without going to your OS's file explorer and doing it there.
- sefrost 8y ago
  You can use the Command Palette to rename and move files.
- JorgeGT 8y ago
  I just tested and no, it seems not possible yet.
- roddds 8y ago
  Right click cut/paste works for me, but that might be from SidebarEnhancements.
Vanderson 8y ago
I used Sublime for over a couple years. At the time it was the greatest editor I had ever used. But to get "basic" features (that come default with VScode) required plugins. And then plugins would conflict sometimes, but there were no answers online to why something wouldn't work because the problems were obscure and rare. Also, there was some simple copy/paste problems (limitations?) on Linux as well. I liked it so much that I dealt with all of these issues from nearly day one without complaint. I had tried VScode, and at the time Sublime was just faster smoother and all around more polished. But I tried VScode about a month or two ago, and it came default with features that I had to use a few plugins (with overlapping and conflicting features) with Sublime. I was actually sad to switch to VScode, simply out of principle. But VScode is built how I would expect an editor to work by default, where Sublime, as fast as it is, lost some zip after a few too many plugins, and actually has fewer features (that I really require/use frequently) than VScode does. Also, vscode greatly simplified settings, snippets and other text based settings that I think Sublime could take note of. Edit: Another note, because VScode comes default with many features, the keyboard shortcuts seem a little more consistent. I hope Sublime steps up their game, as I think VScode is standing on their shoulders, and competition is good.
- jxi 8y ago
  I tried to like VSCode, but I feel like if I want a powerful IDE, IntelliJ/Webstorm/PyCharm is just much more polished and requires less config (for example, run targets are kind of weird in VSCode). If I want a fast editor, then I feel like VSCode lags a bit compared to SublimeText (due to Electron?). I might be too sensitive to latency, but this is one reason I still prefer Sublime for things like Markdown editing.

  Now try and open up Sublime after some time spent in VSCode. You will see what I am talking about, yeah go and try scroll that Side bar, scroll editor, enter some text fast, scroll fast the minimap. Everything is very smooth! I mean I get it, if you want rich plugins and all that fancy stuff go down the Atom/VSCode way. Even though I was using Emacs and Vim for the biggest part of my development time, I always had Sublime somewhere in there, I use editor just as an editor. Some nice light git integration, fast file searching and fast and correct code navigation is all I need that goes out of the $EDITOR scope. I have all of that with Sublime and it works reliably and flawlessly.
jxdxbx 8y ago
If you want an editor that is fast with large files and doesn’t require 100 plugins, check out BBEdit.
- mwexler 8y ago
  I think you meant to include "... which runs only on macOS." Still a great editor, but wish it worked on more platforms.

If anyone from Sublime Text is here, I'd really appreciate it if you looked at this bug: https://forum.sublimetext.com/t/huge-load-on-system-mojave-build-3180/39917/ https://forum.sublimetext.com/t/huge-load-on-system-mojave-b.... This makes it impossible for me to use the latest build :(
- kvark 8y ago
  No idea if that helps, but they do mention Mojave support in the release notes: > Mac: Added Mojave support
  - saagarjha 8y ago
    Yeah, the issue is that on my hardware this build makes the CPU go wild for some reason. I'm assuming the "Mojave support" is referring to dark mode or similar, since I've been stuck on Build 3176 for this time…
    - wbond 8y ago
      Mojave support includes ensuring that we are providing proper text rendering with the new grayscale antialiasing mode and opting in to dark mode title bars. If you are seeing persistent issues with CPU, it is probably related to filesystem monitoring and git repository scanning. See https://forum.sublimetext.com/t/sublime-consumes-cpu-on-mac-after-update/42327 https://forum.sublimetext.com/t/sublime-consumes-cpu-on-mac-... for an existing conversation.
      - saagarjha 8y ago
        Yup, that was it. Once I turned off GPU rendering and waited a while, CPU usage dropped back to normal. Thanks so much!
- DamnInteresting 8y ago
  The problem seems related to OpenGL; you could try disabling OpenGL by adding this to your preferences: "gpu_window_buffer": "false", Note that Sublime must be restarted for the change to take effect.
losvedir 8y ago
I was a Sublime diehard for the longest time, but I've recently been using VS Code simply for the Elixir Language Server add-on which is incredible and doesn't seem integrate with Sublime yet. But then this issue[0] happened and Code caused me to lose a bunch of data... so now I'm on the fence of going back to Sublime which has always been rock solid for me.

  VSCode for Elixir is stellar. Extension-wise, I use ElixirLS (best option I've seen for debug info, dialyzer, & spec integrations), vscode-elixir-formatter (integrates Elixir 1.6 formatter), and hex.pm Intellisense (automatically loads a list of deps versions from hex.pm every time you enter a new dep in your mix file).
- pps 8y ago
  This bug surprised me too, but the same (or maybe that wasn't update but some weird OS restart) happened to me in Sublime couple of years ago. Fortunately both applications have backup folders and unsaved files can be retrieved.
qrbLPHiKpiux 8y ago
I use it, but I absolutely hate that I can't print from it.
- sigzero 8y ago
  Yeah, that's crazy.
- jackhack 8y ago
  I thought I was the only one. Not only Sublime, but nearly all editors these days lack a print feature.
  - qrbLPHiKpiux 8y ago
    Right - I not only use an editor to code, I like one for notes, to draft text - write notes and letters to others. I find using WORD or similar cumbersome and unnecessary. I've written before that I love plain text as the files are compatible with everything. Also, in fact, I write out all email in a text editor first, then copy/paste into webmail so the watching eyes don't / can't fingerprint my typing! /little paranoid!
- justin66 8y ago
  I paid for it and I feel the same.
- GuB-42 8y ago
  Print? Who does that nowadays with all these great software and large, high resolution displays? I have banned paper from most of my life years ago. It is nice to have a support but it invariably ends up in a non copy-pastable, non searchable pile of junk. Also, printing from a text editor isn't very sexy, you'd want at least a bit of styling and page layout, and that's well outside the scope of a text editor. Anyway, your point of view may be different but for that, I think there are packages for printing. I suppose it wasn't included because it is a rather difficult to do it right and few people are interested. There are many things that can go wrong: OS compatibility, page layout, fonts, color or lack thereof... I implemented printing in software once and was a real PITA.
ericfrederich 8y ago
Didn't know about Sublime Merge. Though, I am hesitant to learn or become dependent on any GUI for Git other than gitk, and git-gui which ship with Git. Honestly, Tcl/Tk is ugly as hell but every other GUI I've seen seem to just be re-stylings of those. There is also a blame gui which comes with Git.
- awakeasleep 8y ago
  I primarily use git from the cli, but bought sublime merge after hearing someone say how impressed they were. Sublime merge then taught me about a bunch of areas of Git where I had a weak understanding or I had been timid. It's an amazing tool and I think [unless you're already an expert] it'll aid you in your use of git cli rather than replace it.
stunt 8y ago
Sublime is my second most favorite TextEditor after VIM. However, I have to admit when it comes to plugins and community, Sublime is way behind VSCode. But if you compare anything else (ex. Performance), Sublime is definitely way better.

Anyone have any opinions on Python 3 development is Atom, VSCode, or Sublime? I’ve got a 5 year old Mac with 16GB of RAM, so I’m simply looking for which editor is best for developing scripts. Autocompletion, error detection as I type, etc

  VSCode is fine for python development on my 8 year old MBA with 4 GB of RAM so you shouldn't have any problems at all.
- bobwaycott 8y ago
  I've spent years programming Python in VSCode. After years of programming Python in Sublime. It's very good. Plenty of plugins, pretty effortless to get project-wide intellisense, jump-to nav, etc. You can customize linting for certain classes of errors easily. My absolute favorite feature has been VSCode's hover tooltips that show documentation of just about everything--not just for standard lib, but all your dependencies, and all your project code. I just can't go back to not seeing the docstrings on classes and functions when I hover over them--it's effortless to review purpose, order of arguments, and whatever else has been documented. EDIT: For fairness of comparison, while I find VSCode is superior for QoL via its impressive defaults and great extension ecosystem, SublimeText is vastly superior where navigating code is concerned--opening a file, and the instant preview of the file as Sublime fuzzy matches what you're typing is unmatched. Navigating symbols in Sublime is also light-years faster--instant, compared to VSCode making me wait every time I try to find a symbol while it loads them up--even in files that I frequently have open and expect it should just know what's there by now. Also, if I'm going to open a very large file, like an SQL dump or something similar, I won't even try that in VSCode. I reach for Sublime.
- Wohlf 8y ago
  VSCode or Sublime can easily do this with a few extensions, they have fantastic Python community support. VSCode will be easier to setup. VSCode will use more RAM and be slower to startup but if you're just developing scripts and don't go crazy with extensions it won't be a major difference with 16GB of RAM. Atom in my experience is dog slow. PyCharm is overkill for scripts, but the features are very nice once things start getting big.
paulcarroty 8y ago
Never used Sublime, cause prefer open source. There's good example when open source (Atom & VSC) can compete and win.

  CudaText looks very similar, and it is foss.
  - Can_Not 8y ago
    CudaText seems to like claiming to be "written in Lazarus", which as far as I can tell, is an IDE and not a language?
    - ethelward 8y ago
      Lazarus is, in a nutshell, the FreePascal compiler + a lot of libraries for GUI (among other things) + a nice RAD. So “written in Lazarus” is a shortcut for “written in Pascal with the Lazarus runtime”.
SailingSperm 8y ago
Am I the only one who finds the vscode quick file search very very poor? Ctrl p and finding a file on a massive code base takes forever in vscode whereas its 100ms in sublime. Vscode also seems to need to recache the file names each startup. When using sshfs or similar to mount a remote fs to work on and have the file name search play nice is also in an unusable state. Using the remote's linters, git, etc would also be great.. But non existant. Easy enough to ssh in the inline term, but that's not integrated for the plugins etc to pass thru. The file search really sounds like it should be easy enough to self fix. (so can partial search a path, parts of a name and all that factors for a refined search return.. As well as caching those result sets more persistently.) What might be a good way to create a nice lookup behaving like below. (rtree hashmap knearest? Just a rb tree?? Idk) *Eg fs contains 10k files* Project root =/home/user/ *all return top 20 of returned set / returns 10k files /proj1 returns 5k /proj1 .js returns 100 /proj1 ab .Js returns 4 /proj1 abc.js returns 1 /proj1 ab.js returns 1 /p2/js/ab.js returns 1 /js ab.js returns 2 ... Eg. Ab.js is in the subset of /proj1/js/test/ AND /js (that looks in /p2/js + /proj1/js) Anyone working on this or with solutions to any of these issues, I'd be keen to hear from you...
pwenzel 8y ago
I appreciate that Sublime now offers Git integration natively, but I'm so used to the icons in GitGutter that it'll take me some time to adjust! I've been using Sublime Text almost every day for the last 5 years, switching to PHP Storm when I need XDebug. I think people complaining about the cost of a text editor is ridiculous. If you do professional work it's worth it to pay for good tools.
jdc0589 8y ago
man, I really miss sublime. I switched to vim for the year i was doing ruby (cause ruby "IDE"s are so horrible its just not worth it), and now im in vscode mostly because the out of the box setup for golang is so great.
- iamdbtoo 8y ago
  This is why I switched to vscode a few months ago. The Golang support in Sublime is nowhere near the same level as it is in vscode.

verall 8y ago
Can we get a true "one-shot-file-edit" command line switch, that bypasses hot-exit, without disabling hot-exit? For example I want to use sublime for git commit message. I juggle large repositories, and so I use about 3-4 different sublime windows open on folders that keep my work context. If, while these windows are open, I call `subl -w -n filename`, sublime re-opens all already open windows, and also opens a new window. It then blocks the terminal until every sublime window is closed. I don't want to disable hot-exit, but sometimes I want a self-contained subl window for just 1 file. Anyone have any ideas?
- erikpukinskis 8y ago
  You could keep an older version of sublime around just for git commits.
- philippotto 8y ago
  I had the same problem (once in a blue moon, sublime did the correct behavior, but overall it was pretty unreliable). As a solution, I wrote a small ST package [1] which produces the desired behavior. The package listens on a socket to "open-file-requests", which can be issued from the command line. Via bash aliasing, you can invoke something like `lsub myfile.txt` which will then do what you want. However, I'm not too sure about whether it works for git, as it's probably not blocking (I didn't test it for this usecase). Maybe it's still useful for someone, though.

anbotero 8y ago
Again, the sad state of people following the hype train with VSCode. While few have given fair examples of things better in VSCode than in Sublime, most are obviously oblivious as to what features make VSCode better than Sublime. This is: “GitHub went down for a minute, that’s why I moved to GitLab!” all over again. Truly sad. Back on topic, I got my Sublime licensed since 2014. I have been enjoying it quite a lot since then. The not-so-subtle performance differences between the two editors make me always come back to Sublime. I’ll still be checking VSCode in the near future, though, since to me it works a bit better than Atom.
- hu3 8y ago
  I don't deny the VSCode hype train but I have had a Sublime license for 4 years and for the past 2 years VSCode is my default code editor.
  - anbotero 8y ago
    But why, if you may spare the time? It’s the reasons that made me make my initial comment about the hype. I have yet to see good enough reasons to move, but maybe my development environment varies quite a bit from other people. Still, even if it had way more features, which I doubt, the performance differences are still (just tried it) too much for me to consider it. Thanks!
    - electricslpnsld 8y ago
      The plugin/extension ecosystem is way more active in VS Code than than Sublime, I’ve found. There is a VSC extension for just about anything you could imagine, at this point. With that said the latency in typing with VSC drives me a little bit crazy every day...
    - ktross 8y ago
      I've also used Sublime for years, but recently I've been using VS Code. VS is miles ahead when working with modern Javascript, both in terms of linting and syntax highlighting. Have a look at these screenshots of a single-file Vue component. Both are using the most popular Vue/JS plugins. Sublime: https://i.imgur.com/xQiYv7O.jpg https://i.imgur.com/xQiYv7O.jpg VS Code: https://i.imgur.com/UsEhfO3.jpg https://i.imgur.com/UsEhfO3.jpg
kstrauser 8y ago
Does it have decent Python support yet? It definitely didn't the last time I was seriously using it. For instance, I butted heads with the maintainer of ST's Python plugin over the need to have independent per-project settings. This is critical for me as I work on several codebases that have different Python versions, virtualenvs, installed packages, testing frameworks, etc. In contrast, VSCode makes it trivial to use ~/envs/project1/bin/python3.6 for one project and ~/envs/project2/bin/python2.7 in another. I fought long and hard to try to get ST to be usable in that scenario but eventually gave up and went back to Emacs. About a year ago I tried VSCode and found that it was my medium medium between nearly as configurable as Emacs (for my purposes) but as pretty as Sublime Text. Either way, I can't see paying for ST anymore when I have a couple of good FOSS editors that may be a bit slower but don't take nearly so much work to whip into a usable state.

  I've been using Sublime to write Python for the last 4 or 5 years with the Anaconda package and it works really well, including "go to definition" key binds.

I just wish there was a way to channel more resources into bug fixes. https://github.com/SublimeTextIssues/Core/issues https://github.com/SublimeTextIssues/Core/issues 1268 open vs 1428 closed issues is not a good ratio. Maybe they could offer a subscription model to finance another dev for bug fixing.

  We actually fixed a whole slew of bugs in the latest dev cycle - over 100 issues were resolved on the community tracker.

I like the new integrations with Sublime Merge, but for now i'm going to keep using Git Gutter, which has more features for viewing information about diffs within files: https://jisaacks.github.io/GitGutter/ https://jisaacks.github.io/GitGutter/ You can easily view changes to individual lines or chunks, revert them, etc, without opening a separate tool. As far as I can tell this isn't possible with the new built-in integration. You can also compare against any branch, not just `master` and `HEAD`.
- dpjohnston 8y ago
  Hi, Dev from Sublime HQ here. You can revert changes straight from Sublime Text using the keybinding ctrl + k, ctrl + v or through the menu Edit > Text > Revert Modification. Additionally you can open up the inline diff within Sublime Text by opening the context menu at the modification, and selecting Show Diff Hunk. This allows to view changes to hunks :)

Searching a whole folder in Sublime shows the code in context. VSCode just shows one line. Atom is more flexible in that you can choose how many lines either way of the searched pattern to show

I love the performance of Sublime Text, but I had to keep going back to VSCode for its incredible Typescript support (intellisense/find all references/great goto definition/showing TS errors). Is it possible to get Sublime Text to give the same Typescript/React experience as VSCode with some plugins? I never quite got there.
- mohitsingh 8y ago
  Of Course it is, to some extent. https://github.com/Microsoft/Typescript-Sublime-Plugin https://github.com/Microsoft/Typescript-Sublime-Plugin combined with https://github.com/Thom1729/Sublime-JS-Custom https://github.com/Thom1729/Sublime-JS-Custom is enough for me.

I prefer notepad++, NPP and the main plug-ins are written in C + +, lightweight green and efficient, support Python, C #, Lua, JS write extensions. What I don't like about sublime is that as long as the python expands a little bit more, the system slows down, and there are no toolbars. I also don't like Atom and Vscode, a npm based editor, NPM is really crap.

  Does anybody know of a decent benchmark on editor latency? I swear Sublime feels more responsive vs VS code but that could just be in my head.
  - azeirah 8y ago
    There is a great benchmark somewhere on Github, it measures 5-ish metrics, like key->rendered latency, time to load 100MB file, and stuff like that. Apparently, the Joe editor was the fastest, and Sublime has basically first or second place for most metrics. Atom crashed for a few metrics :P I don't know if I could find it for you... but it's out there somewhere, maybe someone here has it bookmarked.

    For pure typing latency, here's a fairly rigorous one from three years ago: https://pavelfatin.com/typing-with-pleasure/ https://pavelfatin.com/typing-with-pleasure/ It doesn't include VS Code, but it does describe the benchmarking process and the provided tool is simple to use. On my current setup, VS Code 1.32.1 is ~5ms slower than Sublime Text 3.2: 16.2ms vs 10.8ms respectively.

      Either you should split the files when exporting (split database schema from data and for each table or by date etc for logs) or grep to filter out than open up GB size in an editor as you'll have problem navigating anyway. You don't want to use 'find' inside the editor for that kind of size.
      - zenexer 8y ago
        Or you can use Sublime, where it's not an issue. Find works just fine on large files.

Those who do not understand Emacs are condemned to reinvent it, poorly. On a more serious note I could never understand why a closed source editor gained any traction among developers, especially when it lacks many, many features other more mature editors have had for years. Any Sublime users here that could provide their reasons for sticking with it?

    I think it's safe to say vim/emacs are different things than sublime/vs code/IntelliJ. They're ok when there are no alternatives like during SSH session but I've given up customizing after 10 years to make them act like any of the latter ones. Why would I pay for IntelliJ if I could or someone had already made easy to use plugin to just make them act like modern editors?

    - steveeq1 8y ago
      How so?
      - theli0nheart 8y ago
        I mean, find the biggest file you can open with Vim, and then find the biggest file you can open with any other full-fledged editor. I doubt most full-fledged editor will be able to handle a 5GB+ log file, much less perform a search / replace within a reasonable amount of time. Vim just has a lot less going on under the hood by default and is built for this. In short, I guess I'm agreeing with your original post. Vim is just on another level when it comes to performance versus other editors so it's kind of unfair to pit them together.

  Especially since it seems to have gone up every time I look at it (now at $80), and you don't even buy it for life: at some arbitrary point a new version will come out, and you'll not only have to pay again, all your plugins will also be thrown into a hellish split like Python experienced where half of them will work only on the new one and half of them only on the old one for a couple years.

Major changes include: * Git integration in the sidebar: https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/git_integration.html https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/git_integration.html * Diff tracking in the gutter: https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/incremental_diff.html https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/incremental_diff.html While there are packages that provide diff tracking (I've been using GitGutter for a long time) these changes will finally allow themes to visually customize both the git status in the sidebar tracking and the gutter marks, which is great news!

The Incremental Diff feature is awesome. IntelliJ IDEA has this feature by default, and I find it really useful.

Combined with Sublime Merge which can be opened e.g. from the side bar and for open files this is pretty great indeed.

Is it possible to drag/drop files in the sidebar yet? Or even right click cut/paste? Last time I tried Sublime it was impossible to move a file without going to your OS's file explorer and doing it there.

You can use the Command Palette to rename and move files.

Vanderson 8y ago

I used Sublime for over a couple years. At the time it was the greatest editor I had ever used. But to get "basic" features (that come default with VScode) required plugins. And then plugins would conflict sometimes, but there were no answers online to why something wouldn't work because the problems were obscure and rare. Also, there was some simple copy/paste problems (limitations?) on Linux as well. I liked it so much that I dealt with all of these issues from nearly day one without complaint. I had tried VScode, and at the time Sublime was just faster smoother and all around more polished. But I tried VScode about a month or two ago, and it came default with features that I had to use a few plugins (with overlapping and conflicting features) with Sublime. I was actually sad to switch to VScode, simply out of principle. But VScode is built how I would expect an editor to work by default, where Sublime, as fast as it is, lost some zip after a few too many plugins, and actually has fewer features (that I really require/use frequently) than VScode does. Also, vscode greatly simplified settings, snippets and other text based settings that I think Sublime could take note of. Edit: Another note, because VScode comes default with many features, the keyboard shortcuts seem a little more consistent. I hope Sublime steps up their game, as I think VScode is standing on their shoulders, and competition is good.

jxi 8y ago
I tried to like VSCode, but I feel like if I want a powerful IDE, IntelliJ/Webstorm/PyCharm is just much more polished and requires less config (for example, run targets are kind of weird in VSCode). If I want a fast editor, then I feel like VSCode lags a bit compared to SublimeText (due to Electron?). I might be too sensitive to latency, but this is one reason I still prefer Sublime for things like Markdown editing.

Now try and open up Sublime after some time spent in VSCode. You will see what I am talking about, yeah go and try scroll that Side bar, scroll editor, enter some text fast, scroll fast the minimap. Everything is very smooth! I mean I get it, if you want rich plugins and all that fancy stuff go down the Atom/VSCode way. Even though I was using Emacs and Vim for the biggest part of my development time, I always had Sublime somewhere in there, I use editor just as an editor. Some nice light git integration, fast file searching and fast and correct code navigation is all I need that goes out of the $EDITOR scope. I have all of that with Sublime and it works reliably and flawlessly.

jxdxbx 8y ago

If you want an editor that is fast with large files and doesn’t require 100 plugins, check out BBEdit.

kvark 8y ago
No idea if that helps, but they do mention Mojave support in the release notes: > Mac: Added Mojave support
- saagarjha 8y ago
  Yeah, the issue is that on my hardware this build makes the CPU go wild for some reason. I'm assuming the "Mojave support" is referring to dark mode or similar, since I've been stuck on Build 3176 for this time…
  - wbond 8y ago
    Mojave support includes ensuring that we are providing proper text rendering with the new grayscale antialiasing mode and opting in to dark mode title bars. If you are seeing persistent issues with CPU, it is probably related to filesystem monitoring and git repository scanning. See https://forum.sublimetext.com/t/sublime-consumes-cpu-on-mac-after-update/42327 https://forum.sublimetext.com/t/sublime-consumes-cpu-on-mac-... for an existing conversation.

      Yup, that was it. Once I turned off GPU rendering and waited a while, CPU usage dropped back to normal. Thanks so much!
DamnInteresting 8y ago
The problem seems related to OpenGL; you could try disabling OpenGL by adding this to your preferences: "gpu_window_buffer": "false", Note that Sublime must be restarted for the change to take effect.

VSCode for Elixir is stellar.

I've written before that I love plain text as the files are compatible with everything. Also, in fact, I write out all email in a text editor first, then copy/paste into webmail so the watching eyes don't / can't fingerprint my typing! /little paranoid!

GuB-42 8y ago
Print? Who does that nowadays with all these great software and large, high resolution displays? I have banned paper from most of my life years ago. It is nice to have a support but it invariably ends up in a non copy-pastable, non searchable pile of junk. Also, printing from a text editor isn't very sexy, you'd want at least a bit of styling and page layout, and that's well outside the scope of a text editor. Anyway, your point of view may be different but for that, I think there are packages for printing. I suppose it wasn't included because it is a rather difficult to do it right and few people are interested. There are many things that can go wrong: OS compatibility, page layout, fonts, color or lack thereof... I implemented printing in software once and was a real PITA.

ericfrederich 8y ago

Didn't know about Sublime Merge. Though, I am hesitant to learn or become dependent on any GUI for Git other than gitk, and git-gui which ship with Git. Honestly, Tcl/Tk is ugly as hell but every other GUI I've seen seem to just be re-stylings of those. There is also a blame gui which comes with Git.

awakeasleep 8y ago
I primarily use git from the cli, but bought sublime merge after hearing someone say how impressed they were. Sublime merge then taught me about a bunch of areas of Git where I had a weak understanding or I had been timid. It's an amazing tool and I think [unless you're already an expert] it'll aid you in your use of git cli rather than replace it.

Sublime is my second most favorite TextEditor after VIM. However, I have to admit when it comes to plugins and community, Sublime is way behind VSCode. But if you compare anything else (ex. Performance), Sublime is definitely way better.

VSCode is fine for python development on my 8 year old MBA with 4 GB of RAM so you shouldn't have any problems at all.
bobwaycott 8y ago
I've spent years programming Python in VSCode. After years of programming Python in Sublime. It's very good. Plenty of plugins, pretty effortless to get project-wide intellisense, jump-to nav, etc. You can customize linting for certain classes of errors easily. My absolute favorite feature has been VSCode's hover tooltips that show documentation of just about everything--not just for standard lib, but all your dependencies, and all your project code. I just can't go back to not seeing the docstrings on classes and functions when I hover over them--it's effortless to review purpose, order of arguments, and whatever else has been documented. EDIT: For fairness of comparison, while I find VSCode is superior for QoL via its impressive defaults and great extension ecosystem, SublimeText is vastly superior where navigating code is concerned--opening a file, and the instant preview of the file as Sublime fuzzy matches what you're typing is unmatched. Navigating symbols in Sublime is also light-years faster--instant, compared to VSCode making me wait every time I try to find a symbol while it loads them up--even in files that I frequently have open and expect it should just know what's there by now. Also, if I'm going to open a very large file, like an SQL dump or something similar, I won't even try that in VSCode. I reach for Sublime.
Wohlf 8y ago
VSCode or Sublime can easily do this with a few extensions, they have fantastic Python community support. VSCode will be easier to setup. VSCode will use more RAM and be slower to startup but if you're just developing scripts and don't go crazy with extensions it won't be a major difference with 16GB of RAM. Atom in my experience is dog slow. PyCharm is overkill for scripts, but the features are very nice once things start getting big.

    Lazarus is, in a nutshell, the FreePascal compiler + a lot of libraries for GUI (among other things) + a nice RAD. So “written in Lazarus” is a shortcut for “written in Pascal with the Lazarus runtime”.

Am I the only one who finds the vscode quick file search very very poor? Ctrl p and finding a file on a massive code base takes forever in vscode whereas its 100ms in sublime. Vscode also seems to need to recache the file names each startup. When using sshfs or similar to mount a remote fs to work on and have the file name search play nice is also in an unusable state. Using the remote's linters, git, etc would also be great.. But non existant. Easy enough to ssh in the inline term, but that's not integrated for the plugins etc to pass thru. The file search really sounds like it should be easy enough to self fix. (so can partial search a path, parts of a name and all that factors for a refined search return.. As well as caching those result sets more persistently.) What might be a good way to create a nice lookup behaving like below. (rtree hashmap knearest? Just a rb tree?? Idk) *Eg fs contains 10k files* Project root =/home/user/ *all return top 20 of returned set / returns 10k files /proj1 returns 5k /proj1 .js returns 100 /proj1 ab .Js returns 4 /proj1 abc.js returns 1 /proj1 ab.js returns 1 /p2/js/ab.js returns 1 /js ab.js returns 2 ... Eg. Ab.js is in the subset of /proj1/js/test/ AND /js (that looks in /p2/js + /proj1/js) Anyone working on this or with solutions to any of these issues, I'd be keen to hear from you...

I appreciate that Sublime now offers Git integration natively, but I'm so used to the icons in GitGutter that it'll take me some time to adjust!

Can we get a true "one-shot-file-edit" command line switch, that bypasses hot-exit, without disabling hot-exit? For example I want to use sublime for git commit message. I juggle large repositories, and so I use about 3-4 different sublime windows open on folders that keep my work context. If, while these windows are open, I call `subl -w -n filename`, sublime re-opens all already open windows, and also opens a new window. It then blocks the terminal until every sublime window is closed. I don't want to disable hot-exit, but sometimes I want a self-contained subl window for just 1 file. Anyone have any ideas?

erikpukinskis 8y ago
You could keep an older version of sublime around just for git commits.
philippotto 8y ago
I had the same problem (once in a blue moon, sublime did the correct behavior, but overall it was pretty unreliable). As a solution, I wrote a small ST package [1] which produces the desired behavior. The package listens on a socket to "open-file-requests", which can be issued from the command line. Via bash aliasing, you can invoke something like `lsub myfile.txt` which will then do what you want. However, I'm not too sure about whether it works for git, as it's probably not blocking (I didn't test it for this usecase). Maybe it's still useful for someone, though.

Again, the sad state of people following the hype train with VSCode. While few have given fair examples of things better in VSCode than in Sublime, most are obviously oblivious as to what features make VSCode better than Sublime. This is: “GitHub went down for a minute, that’s why I moved to GitLab!” all over again. Truly sad. Back on topic, I got my Sublime licensed since 2014. I have been enjoying it quite a lot since then. The not-so-subtle performance differences between the two editors make me always come back to Sublime. I’ll still be checking VSCode in the near future, though, since to me it works a bit better than Atom.

  But why, if you may spare the time? It’s the reasons that made me make my initial comment about the hype. I have yet to see good enough reasons to move, but maybe my development environment varies quite a bit from other people. Still, even if it had way more features, which I doubt, the performance differences are still (just tried it) too much for me to consider it. Thanks!

Does it have decent Python support yet? It definitely didn't the last time I was seriously using it. For instance, I butted heads with the maintainer of ST's Python plugin over the need to have independent per-project settings. This is critical for me as I work on several codebases that have different Python versions, virtualenvs, installed packages, testing frameworks, etc. In contrast, VSCode makes it trivial to use ~/envs/project1/bin/python3.6 for one project and ~/envs/project2/bin/python2.7 in another. I fought long and hard to try to get ST to be usable in that scenario but eventually gave up and went back to Emacs. About a year ago I tried VSCode and found that it was my medium medium between nearly as configurable as Emacs (for my purposes) but as pretty as Sublime Text. Either way, I can't see paying for ST anymore when I have a couple of good FOSS editors that may be a bit slower but don't take nearly so much work to whip into a usable state.

I like the new integrations with Sublime Merge, but for now i'm going to keep using Git Gutter, which has more features for viewing information about diffs within files: https://jisaacks.github.io/GitGutter/ https://jisaacks.github.io/GitGutter/ You can easily view changes to individual lines or chunks, revert them, etc, without opening a separate tool. As far as I can tell this isn't possible with the new built-in integration. You can also compare against any branch, not just `master` and `HEAD`.

dpjohnston 8y ago
Hi, Dev from Sublime HQ here. You can revert changes straight from Sublime Text using the keybinding ctrl + k, ctrl + v or through the menu Edit > Text > Revert Modification. Additionally you can open up the inline diff within Sublime Text by opening the context menu at the modification, and selecting Show Diff Hunk. This allows to view changes to hunks :)

What I don't like about sublime is that as long as the python expands a little bit more, the system slows down, and there are no toolbars. I also don't like Atom and Vscode, a npm based editor, NPM is really crap.

So basically what feature is introduced in this latest version that is not already in VS-Code?

I miss the speed of Sublime. Not enough though.
