I originally used subl, then switched for vscode for 3 years or so, and have now switched back to subl.
I switched back to subl mainly because I downgraded my system from 16GB RAM to 8GB (switched from 2017 mbp to a 2015 carbon X1) and vscode had too large a memory footprint to use.
subl is notably faster, its also a very well rounded editor with a tiny memory footprint...
But I also have the issue that the plugin support is abysmal, that sane defaults are non-existent and it takes a long time to get things to work well with a very popular web techstack like React, Styled Components, eslint.
Even now there are times when the syntax highlighting is wrong.
It would do subl a great service if they improved the package management and created a number of officially supported packages for popular techstacks that allow people to simply (ideally) 1 click configure the editor.
I shouldn't have to read a 15 minute Medium tutorial on how to configure eslint, IMO that is ridiculous.
- Vanderson 8y agoI really like your idea about officially supported packages, but also to group them together for popular techstacks. This was exactly the same problem I had. There were so many options that just didn't work well that I wasted tons of time trying out every plugin I could find to solve my problems. And I still didn't fully solve it, I just gave up and lived with annoyances. Edit: I perceive VScode partially solved this problem with the download count/voting on extensions.
- pwenzel 8y agoI use Sublime Text for Vue.js projects because ESLint support was so smooth! (just installed SublimeLinter-eslint) Sorry to hear you had trouble with it.
