It seems like some people just really like following the current "hot" editor. I doubt what editor you use ever really makes much productivity difference beyond a very basic level (i.e. something more advanced than Notepad).
A couple years ago it was Sublime, today it's VSCode, in a year or two I'm sure they'll all move on to something else.
- nemothekid 8y agoAtom was the previous "hot" editor, and atom always seemed to never be as goos as Sublime. However VSCode is shaping up to be different. Despite the fact that VSCode is free and not nagware, one of the pains I'm seeing in more people moving to VSCode is that Sublime extensions are slipping in quality. For example GoSublime now requires an out-of-band manual install (cd into some directory and git pull), and I haven't been able to get build errors to show up in the UI at all for several weeks now. However vscode-go seems to just work and is sponsored directly by MS. I know Sublime can't do this and I don't want to switch (I've bound multiple licenses over the years). If they ever get the performance of Electron to match that of native, I won't have a reason to stay on Sublime.
