Sublime

@abdussamit It always has been a winner for me - simple design - super fast (can work on big files) - memory efficient - looks calm and does what it needs to do. I will choose sublime over vscode, any day( which is as bulky as it gets.) cheers

@abdussamit @hippielemur VS Code: $0 and open source Sublime text $80 (discounted!) and licensed Sublime text offers nothing superior to VS code so it will always be a niche pick until that changes. I wish there was a reason to consider switching back, some friendly competition would be healthy.

@abdussamit @sam_ayres Well VSC was developed by Microsoft, so they don't need money(hence they open-sourced it), While sublime is built by a group of dev who need money to sustain and create high-quality products. Also sublime is basically free, you don't have to pay for it if you don't want to. They have an unlimited trial period. And yes it does offer something superior to VS code. It offers way better speed and performance, it is also very simple. I mean I don't think you should watch a 2hr long tutorial on how to use a tool before using it (I see a number of devs doing that). and not everybody wants to code in an editor which is basically a browser. Sure VSC has a lot of features(mainly integrations) , but while choosing between two shops, I would go for a shop with a better service than with a better catalogue. : )

If it is better and it's essentially free why don't more people use it?

@sam_ayres I can give you a whole lot of examples of things that are better but are not used by many people 😊
