What is Sublime Text?
Sublime Text is a sophisticated text editor for code, markup and prose. You'll love the slick user interface, extraordinary features and amazing performance.
Effortlessly split panes and navigate between code
With the new Tab Multi-Select functionality, tabs become first-class citizens in the interface. A simple modifier when performing actions will split the interface to show multiple tabs at once. Works with the side bar, tab bar, Goto Anything and more!
Side-by-side mode for definitions
The Definitions popup now supports side-by-side mode via the icon, or holding Ctrl while clicking a link. Goto Definition, Goto Reference and Goto Symbol in Project also support side-by-side viewing. Explore the full definition, not just a summary in a small popup.
View definitions in auto complete
When an auto-complete word is a symbol with a definition, click the Definition link, or pressing F12 will open the definition to the right. When focus returns to the original file, the auto complete window will return to its last state.
Use multiple selections to rename variables quickly
Here Ctrl+D is used to select the next occurrence of the current word. Ctrl+K, Ctrl+D will skip an occurence. Once created, each selection allows for full-featured editing.

Comments and Reviews
I have mixed feelings about this editor, unfortunately... I love it and I hate it at the same time.
Why I love this editor:
BUT! I hate this editor too, because of:
Sad, but if the thing will continue to be like it is right now - the editor will die really soon...
Whaaa, never had any encoding issues O_o And I think VSCode is just a bloatware in comparison. It can't be compared to Sublime Text at all. A much better comparsion would be Atom editor.
Good: Dark mode; tabbed; saves drafts automatically. Bad: Most functionality hidden in 'package' system; cannot be used to edit plain text; no way to disable Sublime inserting random spacing; no way to change settings (choice doesn't even work in menu).

My original go to editor. I really like it because it's got a simple UI, fast, extensible and configurable. I did have the licence for Sublime Text 2, but it looks like I need to upgrade it for Text 3.
I have been gravitating towards VSCodium, unfortunately, as the Markdown preview capabilities are a little sluggish. Plus, it's pretty much comparable and open source.
It looks really good and has great features, but sadly it's not open source.
A smooth user experience.
I think this is really a very lightweight software, with many plug-ins and everything you want. It's a good software
