As an editor day to day yes you are correct. Sublime is the goat as far as performance. VSCode has become my primary editor because I work remotely via SSH but nothing can touch the lightness and latency of subl. I still run it in tandem with vscode for stuff that doesn’t require a remote conn. It’s an order of magnitude quicker than VSCode.
- europeanguy 4y ago> nothing can touch the lightness and latency of subl There's this editor called vim. You should have a look.
- albrewer 4y agoFor some people (like me), re-teaching muscle memory is a huge battle that takes years. Switching to an editor where you can't use the mouse as a crutch until you learn it is a non-starter.
- ectopod 4y agovim has both terminal and gui builds. The latter supports the mouse.
- HouseOfStairs 4y agoEven the terminal build supports the mouse. `set mouse=a`
- spiderice 4y agoI use vim as my daily driver. Just want to make it clear to people that even vim with mouse support is not going to be a drop in replacement for vscode/atom/sublime. You're still going to have a hare time being productive in it for a good while until you learn the keybinds and train your muscle-memory
- gen220 4y agoNext time you're on an airplane and have nothing to do, but have access to a laptop, consider firing up `vimtutor`. I think you might underestimate how much time it takes to build up muscle memory in a new system. Not saying you'll be a wizard by the time you get off the flight, but it might surprise you how far you get!
- plonk 4y agoYou need a good machine, but on an M2 SSD with a recent CPU and enough RAM, VSCode takes one second to start, much less to open a new tab. Not sure Sublime Text's speed will still be a big selling point in the future.
