No specific comments about this release, just want to express my admiration and gratitude for the developers. Sublime has been my daily driver for 10 years and I love it. It's the scalpel to VS Code's swiss army knife.

Thank you, Sublime devs, for making/maintaining performant, unobtrusive software in 2022! Sublime is a role model. Maybe a project-oriented IDE next? Want to ditch JetBrains for project-editing since it's a pig.

    Yea - Fleet also seems like a worst-of-both-worlds thing. I want PyCharm/IJRust functionality and interface, but fast.

      I downloaded the public preview of Fleet right after they announced its availability and somehow they've managed to make a thing that both consumes MORE CPU and is SLOWER than InteliJ and I was left wondering how. Like it was just sitting there idling using 10% of my CPU, with the so-called "Smart Mode" disabled.

        I had a similar experience.

What do you like about it better than VS Code?

  Built in keyboard macros that don't suck. Speed too.

  Also lighter on the memory.

  VS Code is not fast. It's not bad but it's also not good in terms of performance. Sublime is probably the best performing application I'm using. Instant startup times, zero lag when typing. That does make a difference.

  I'm using it as my scratch buffer. I can't be bothered to click No to not save all the bazillion tabs I have opened, so the thing is always started. Can't feel it.

Same. I'm just so flipping happy for Sublime's ongoing success. I'm so glad they proved the early doubters wrong. There are so many fantastic editors these days. A real embarrassment of riches. Something for everyone. I hope Sublime is a motivating role model for other indie devs. If you create a great product, and pace yourself for the long-term, you too could become a "working artist" style dev (solo or team).

I'm not sure what I'm missing out on by not using VSCode. LSP support in Sublime is quite good now and there are still tons of extensions. A built-in debugger is probably the biggest thing I'm missing out on -- but I don't personally want that in my editor anyway.

  VSCode's mediocre performance kind of grinds you down over a long period of time. It's hard to notice in any particular moment. Sublime's extensions take a bit more research but they are an upfront cost rather than an ongoing irritation. That said, taste is a factor. It's possible VSCode simply fits you in a way that it does not others.
