Will it be native Sublime Text fast? Not on electron?
I tried using VScode and Atom. Both were noticeably slow compared to sublime text. I can do silly, bad practice things like open a 50 meg log file in sublime and search for simple regex in the editor. Electron based editors stall and potentially crash.
- iamnbutler 4y agoI may be biased, but at least sublime fast, hopefully much faster! Moving to Zed felt like going from a 30fps to 144fps. You should be able to open stupidly big files and shouldn't experience much to any lag. Nathan has a demo he likes to give opening one one of those huge json files and searching, using multiple cursors, etc. It is pretty cool to watch.
- ghshephard 4y ago50 Megabytes? That's tiny I would hope in 2022 that any text editor can handle a 50 megabyte file. I routinely (like every day) open 500 megabyte files in SublimeText, and just checked to make sure that it can handle 1.5 Gigabyte files without much difficulty (it can). Admittedly - once we get into the 5+ Gigabyte file size, startup times become annoying enough that I usually switch over to vim. So, thank you for bringing this up as an important requirement for modern text editors - they should be able to open up multi-gigabyte text files without even breathing hard.
- diziet 4y agoI hear you, but atom and vscode are noticeably slower at interacting and searching even at those small file sizes. So we're in violent agreement here!
