No, Sublime Text was one of the apps in mind when I said a custom-framwork based cross-platform (or homemade might been a better phrase).
I evaluated Sublime for my editor, and found that it’s OS integration was too bad; for one it’s tabs is custom-based and it’s text fields aren’t Cocoa (or at least it doesn’t feel like one). It’s primarily built as a cross-platform, so it really doesn’t consider OS integrations IMO.
- pixelrevision 7y agoHave you tried textmate? I used that for a lot of years and it was 100% cocoa focused.
- pcr910303 7y agoYeah, actually I did, and it was pretty decent; I really considered it seriously back then. I think I found the completion a bit limiting; I would like LSP running with it's context-based completion. It's non-cocoa based tabs were also not my preference; though that wasn't a dealbreaker for TextMate though.
- mattiemass 7y agoYou know, even TextMate appears to use a custom tab implementation. And, it was a huge amount of work to get the AppKit tabs to work in Chime, even though they are supplied by the framework. All the NSWindod tabbing stuff just wasn't built to be flexible for apps that need consistent UI across tabs, like our file navigator widget.
