Yes.
Sublime is unbeatable when it is used as a smart notepad - with frequent starts/closes. It loads instantly.
VSCode is more like IDE (once opened, rarely closed) and is actually moving into Visual Studio direction in respect of its weight and associated problems with that.
- zeppelin101 7y agoExactly how I see them. One of my favorite use cases of Sublime is the 'FilterPipes' command. You can use it to transform the text in numerous ways (such as converting case). You can even write your own text transformation logic in Python. But my favorite use case is the 'Send Text to Command'. I just invoke gnu utilities, like sed or awk (my most common one is 'grep -i filtertext' to only display lines which match a certain pattern), which are accessible from Sublime because they're on my %PATH% on Windows. So I'm basically doing things in Sublime that Vim users think are only possible to vimmers in a unixy world. I'm filtering/transforming text very effectively, all without having to retain in memory some very arcane commands.
