Sublime Text and TextMate were different developers. Sublime appeared during the extremely long (years and years) development period of TextMate 2.

  Sure, I meant they were both developed by a one person only shop. Not that they were both developed by the same person. Also, Sublime was Windows only at first IIRC, so I don’t think it was an answer to TextMate.

    Sublime was pretty much "TextMate on Windows" when it was released. Then most TextMate users abandoned ship when it entered development hell. Then Sublime went cross-platform. Then Atom came and took most of the cake. Then VS Code came and took so much of the cake that there's barely anything left.

      The Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2019 suggests the cake is more distributed than to you think. Unless you mean the "blog post headline" cake, in that case you might be right.

        Sometimes it seems the "blog post headline" cake is the only cake that matters.
