I know many people reason like this, but I simply can't understand it. I can't claim to work on huge projects, but even when working on quite big ones the only "slowness" i notice is the launch time.
Surely launch time is basically insignificant for a text editor which you might only launch a few times in a day?
- stared 11y agoIt is significant when I want to lookup a single file. So one good thing about ST is that it can serve both as IDE and as a quick and simple editor.
- michaelt 11y agoI'm sure it depends on the computer. Back when I had a mid-2010 mac mini, there was a noticeable lag between resizing an Atom window and the contents redrawing - when sublime and gedit were fine with the same files. That was a comparatively slow computer; someone with a higher performance computer probably wouldn't think the performance was all that poor. I can only assume the Atom developers find the performance tolerable. Still, it reminded me of the old joke [1] that the speed of software halves every 18 months.
