Speaking only for myself, I'm not comparing it to random/theoretical OS projects. I'm comparing it to emacs. Sublime is beautiful, but emacs is a lot more likely to survive, and historically, emacs upgrades have broken fewer things. There are also more packages and more available information on how to build things that aren't available. Configuring packages in Sublime wasn't that great.
Obviously, some folks prefer Sublime. But I'd be a lot more interested if it was open source.
- fabman 11y agoI agree with you a hundred percent. I paid for ST2, and waited for ST3 to get out of beta for ages. After seeing the project halt for a year I made the jump to Emacs. And I can't be happier, I'm able to use the same editor in three different platforms and use the same init.el for all of them. Also I'm able to edit files in a remote server without having to replicate the files locally as ST does.

Never had any problem, except some small glitch which was fixed in an update 1 or 2 days ago. UPDATE: On OS X (always with latest stable OS X release), and using SublimeLinter (Python, PHP, JS), GoSublime, Vintageous, a plugin that shows repo changes next to line numbers, and several other plugs. YMMV in other platforms / plugins.
- usaphp 11y agoSame here, I am on a dev channel for God knows how many months if not years already, never had a problem so far.
- kstrauser 11y agoSame here. I switched from Emacs to Sublime, but moved back a couple of months ago. I used my Sublime setup as inspiration for making Emacs as pretty, and now love it even more than I did before.
