The notion that Sublime Text's USP is "multiple cursors" is absurd.
It is a lightning fast next-generation editor. It changed the game entirely when released, and still nothing comes close.
- fsckin 12y agoDo you edit very large files? The regex engine and UI update speed feels incredibly slow to me when making complex changes across thousands of lines in a 200MB file, while vim or grep/awk/etc have no such problem.
- Dolimiter 12y agoNo, I don't edit 200MB files, and I suspect that that is not what Sublime Text was optimized for. I would use another tool for that.
- Derbasti 12y agoWhat else does Sublime Text do that is new? I guess you could count the minimap. The command palette, code navigation, configuration files, package management, speed, plugins, snippets, all have been implemented and widely used in both Emacs and Vim for years. I would be pleased to be proven wrong here, but how exactly did it "change the game entirely", and how exactly is it a "next-generation editor"?
