    I have mixed feelings about this editor, unfortunately...
    I love it and I hate it at the same time.

    Why I love this editor:

    • Because of this editor very fast and comfortable for me, it's faster almost any other competitor except maybe Notepad++ and UltraEdit in terms of performance...
    • It's increases my productivity in 20-30-100x times (not kidding here) if compared to any other alternative. I can super easy and fast do really crazy stuff while working with this editor.
    • It has really awesome plugins, and themes, it really has a lot of built-in features which saves tons of time, solving tons of issues, helping really a lot in work.

    BUT! I hate this editor too, because of:

    • Lack of support of different encoding like Korean, Japanese, Russian (cp1251) and really weird implementation of detecting these encodings...
    • Because of python in core sometimes it slowdown really too much for specific files some things like searching, editing, etc, while other editors do the job well...
    • Sublime Text in 2019 - losing the competition to VSCode, Atom, and other hipsters editors for really a lot of really interesting things like themes, new plugins, community. Really a lot of people moved away from Sublime to VSCode... Also, for me very sad to see when already a lot of plugins and themes and features abandoned.
    • VSCode has really powerful features like IntelliSense for different languages, and Sublime Text really needs it too (debugger, IntelliSense, and integration with many tools for faster and easier coding, writing code, etc with a lot of useful and correct suggestions...)
    • Lack of Git support and integration like in VSCode
    • Really weird installation of plugins and themes, no preview thing and centralized inside editor page with previews how plugins/themes look like. I forced to open a foreign repository just to read what I need.

    Sad, but if the thing will continue to be like it is right now - the editor will die really soon...

    Text

    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).

    Best Code Editor in the world. There is simply no other alternative if you want your work to be done properly. Highly recommended even with the price tag.

    No Edit Comment? Oh well...

    I honestly haven't knew how to code properly until I used Sublime Text editor. It inspired me to learn programming more deeper. Been using it ever since ST2 and now ST4 and I am now very happy advanced programmer :-) I never go by day when I don't use ST for something, and yes even for basic notes taking or todo lists LOL

    Lacks a user interface for settings

    Text

    This is the whole point, that why you have very extensible configuration files. Not everything needs a GUI ^_^ Why would I want a checkbox for example for simple one time option. Even better it has quick panel (CTRL+SHIFT+P) to enable most of settings. Maybe if you are Adobe designer I can see how ST might seem like not enought settings. I think that many more GUI features should be removed and moved to exclusively to configuration files and quick panel ;-)

    The fastest and least resource-intensive.

      While Sublime is more like an editor, Atom is more like an IDE. A slow and bulky IDE.
