How does this compare to Sublime? I ask because that's my simple/fast editor of choice currently.
- whalesalad 4y agoI love sublime. I daily Vscode for the remote ssh integration but I always have subl open for scratch padding, notes, opening huge files etc. It’s so fast.
- unsafecast 4y agoIn my own experience, it's just as fast if not a tiny bit faster, but what it's _really_ good at is customisability. With sublime I tried once to write a small plugin for gofmt and go vet (I don't remember what was wrong with the existent ones), and I gave up because it was more complex than I anticipated. With Lite XL I did it in 10 minutes and about 20 lines of lua code (though I did use this other plugin, it's a kind of support for linters). Whatever I wanted to do it felt like I can just open the config and hack on it. Sublime never felt this way.
