> [VS Code] proved itself when I wanted to implement my own add-on for Sublime Text. I gave up after three days of chasing the arcane documentation and just tried VS Code where I was able to do custom syntax highlighting and deep game script integration in a breeze.
I feel this. The documentation for Sublime seems to be in a permanent state of chaos. Most of the details of how to write plugins were never documented in the first place, and for what you can find you will never be quite sure if it applies to ST2 or ST3. Even the official website has a bunch of outdated documentation for version 2 that still isn’t labeled with version number. I imagine this will only get more confusing with the upcoming version 4.
- hanniabu 7y agoI wasn't aware a version 4 was in the works. Any word on eta?
- tobr 7y agoI know almost nothing about it, but there’s some kind of early alpha or beta testing going on. I don’t believe there’s much of an official “word” at all, let alone on ETA.
- suby 7y agoDoes anyone know if people who bought ST3 get the update for free?
- jay_kyburz 7y agoI doubt it, its been years.
- peruvian 7y agoUsually "pay once" software doesn't get free upgrades - just a discount.
- woodrowbarlow 7y agoactually, this question has always had a clear answer on their website: > Future major versions, such as Sublime Text 4, will be a paid upgrade. https://www.sublimetext.com/sales_faq https://www.sublimetext.com/sales_faq
