This is why I will always pay for the latest version of Sublime Text. First to support indie developers, but second for the marvelous piece of software that allows me to browse gigabytes of data in a GUI.

Dammm havn't heard that word in awhile - had to look at my calendar to double check what year it was. Great to hear they are still rocking!

  Python Crash Course by Eric Mathes is updated up to Python 3.7 and uses Sublime as the editor of choice also.

  I thought Sublime's popularity has grown in recent years? Was it even more popular in the past or am I mistaken? It's just that compared to the standard vim vs emacs debate, I now always hear sublime thrown in for good measure when discussing pure text editors.

    I last used Sublime Text in early 2014 and the same is true for most of my friends. It is a lot more performant than VS Code, but VS Code seems to have won on the sheer quantity of “good enough” plugins. Its pair programming features are a big deal as well. For the most part I use VIM for quick things and VS Code when I need a plugin or to work with others. SBT kinda sits between those two extremes. The pair programming feature from VSC is the only one I’d really miss from that side if I were to go back to SBT. Not sure about from the VIM side because I’m sure the SBT VIM plugins have improved over the past 8 years.

    I think it was a joke about the band.

    Everyone I worked with in about 2014 swore by sublime text. A few years later it lost a ton of ground when Atom was released (and then forked to make VSCode).

    I used it in 2010 for PHP and python related projects, It worked like charm.

I've been using Sublime Text for a decade and never had any reason to leave it. It's been pretty much the most valuable piece of software that I use daily for a big chunk of my career. I've had to buy a new license maybe twice? ST2 and ST3. And another for Sublime Merge. The $100 or whatever it was might as well be _zero_ compared to the amount of value I've gotten out of it. I love this thing.

Is that a direct competitor to something like Notepad++ ? Looking into it myself

  It is, in my opinion. It’s quite brilliant as a powerful text editor.
