I really like the general way of working with SublimeText, but there's one major reason I simply cannot use it for the job: it is terribly slow with large files. One of the things we have to do often is open a >10mb logfile on a cifs share and quickly search through it. It takes ST2 over 10seconds to open the file. The same for each refresh of the file. Even wordpad on Windows loads the file faster, so there seems to be something quite off at the core side of things.
- ditoa 14y agoI have the same issues regarding load speed on large files. I am a long time UltraEdit user and it is the fastest editor on Windows for working with large files that I have found. Unfortunately UltraEdit has a pretty awful UX compared to modern software. It is still very much a Windows 9x app which kind of sucks. Also it has some annoying as hell Unicode issues which is why I ended up switching to Sublime Text for 99% of my work and just keep UltraEdit around for those one a month moments.
- stinos 14y agowell I'm using Notepad++ atm and it's fast as well. It also has the awesome feature (Opera also has it) that you can close tabs by doubleclicking them. Once you get used to that it's extremely hard to not use it everywhere..
- mobweb 14y agoThis also bothers me. It gets even worse when using a linter plugin. Sometimes when I open a complex file (for example a huge minified JS library), the whole editor will just crash because of the linter plugin. :/
