Chose Sublime Text
I used to code on Adobe Dreamweaver before. Dreamweaver software was very heavy for my code, but Sublime Text is a much lighter software compared to Dreamweaver, and I can easily use Sublime Text anywhere because its software takes up very little space.
Chose Sublime Text
Sublime Text allows for all sorts of customization to help users change almost everything in the editor: Key Bindings, Menus, Snippets, Macros, Completions, and many more. Essentially, just about everything in Sublime Text is customizable with simple JSON files. This system …
Chose Sublime Text
Easier to use, runs very solid (especially on Mac OS). Syntax coloring is the best. Possibilities to add plugins and custom things is huge. Connection with Github works great (never tested this with the other tools though).

Also, our company has chosen this tool so at my current …
Chose Sublime Text
Sublime Text is free and offers a cleaner coding interface. Even if I forgot to save updates to a file, the next time I open it, it's still present. Sublime Text boots faster than the other text editors and is also easy to deploy. Memory consumption of Sublime Text is lesser …
Chose Sublime Text
These are all great but are either too expensive (versus free) or too complicated to hit the ground running.
Chose Sublime Text
Sublime is more customizable and one can easily modify a lot of its features. On the contrary Visual Studio only has limited customizability features. Sublime text is also very light and not bloated as opposed to Visual Studio IDE. We also chose sublime because it has much …
Chose Sublime Text
Compared to any other text editor I've used, Sublime Text has the best user interface. On Macs, Windows, and Linux, Sublime Text makes editing easier. When I couldn't use Notepad++ on a Windows machine, I used Sublime Text instead. My colleagues started using Sublime Text, so I …
Chose Sublime Text
Even if Vim is a must use for every programmer, [especially] if you work with server files via ssh or similar, for daily use its learning curve is big and difficult. Instead, sublime requires almost no knowledge to start using it and, in a local instance, their performance is …
Chose Sublime Text
I use Google Keep for taking notes on the go and sharing with my colleagues, sharing tasks for example but for my professional coding I use sublime text, because it has all the features I need to do my work, I use google note on mobile devices but I use sublime on my desktop or …
Chose Sublime Text
Other than Sublime Text, I have not used any other code editors, so it would be hard for me to compare Sublime Text with its competitors.
Chose Sublime Text
We've used both Notepad++ and Atom; both are great but nothing really beats the Sublime Text UI; super intuitive and friendly and does everything you need without overwhelming you with stuff you don't. Other options are free, but for our organization, it was well worth the …
Chose Sublime Text
Sublime Text has a bit more flexibility and doesn't take up as much space or memory as some of the larger IDEs. Notepad++ is customizable too, but Sublime Text is better suited for code editing in my experience.
Chose Sublime Text
Visual Studio Code is nice from a development standpoint in that it offers many of the features of Sublime Text with the addition of an integrated terminal. Brackets likewise offers some of the benefits of Sublime Text with some added HTML specific tools. Both of these …
Chose Sublime Text
Visual Studio Code was honestly a tough competitor to Sublime for multi-language projects, and ultimately edged it out for some of the teams I worked with. It's library functionality was far superior, it is 100% open source vs ads, and it has a similar speed. PyCharm and WebStor…
Chose Sublime Text
Before using Visual Studio Code, we were using Adobe Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver worked well back then, but we were amazed at how much faster and more intuitive Sublime Text was. That's the time that we got into SASS, which made things go so much faster and more efficiently. Also …
Chose Sublime Text
While Microsoft Visual Studio Code has a lot more to offer, it can sometimes be a little too much and get too complicated. I like to keep things simple in text editors which makes Sublime Text my preferred editor. There are a lot of packages that can be installed for Sublime …
Chose Sublime Text
I think Sublime is the most efficient text editor in terms of memory usage, especially compared to VSC. However, VSC is feature-rich and has almost all the features of IDE such as debugging tools and IntelliSense. These features are missing in sublime. There are plugins to …
Chose Sublime Text
Sublime Text beat out everything else we tried.

Visual Studio Code which recently became more popular is not as fast and serves a different market than Sublime's general text editing.
Chose Sublime Text
The main reason I moved from using Notepad++ to use Sublime Text was that I moved from Windows OS to Mac OS....
Notepad++ is not supported on Windows based systems, so I had no choice.
But my guess is that over the years, I would have probably moved to Sublime Text anyway, since …
Chose Sublime Text
Sublime Text has a better UI compared to any other text editors I have used. Easier to edit text on Sublime Text, even on Mac, Windows and Linux operating systems.
Chose Sublime Text
Sublimes text is comparable with the Microsoft Visual Studio Code and NotePad++. However, VS code is far better than [Sublime Text] in terms of the plugins and extensions available in the market. [...] Sublime consumes [...] less memory, compared to the VS code, [which …
Chose Sublime Text
On certain levels all have certain pros and cons but Sublime has community support and a huge future ahead due to its features, making it lead all the others.
Chose Sublime Text
More reliable and intuitive than TextMate or Atom and more feature-filled than an Emacs. The colors/syntax highlighting is superior.
Chose Sublime Text
The easy to use, user-friendly interface is the feature that I like the most.

Sublime HQ
My CMS has a small window in which I can edit custom HTML/CSS. It can be expanded some, but not as much as I would like. It also displays all code as dark text on a white background. On a page where I am doing extensive custom coding, it is helpful to see it in a larger window and in a color-coded display so that I don't have to strain my eyes as hard. Especially when I'm trying to scan for specific elements and target issues and so that I don't have to scroll endlessly in a tiny window.

Cons
Sublime HQ
  • Plugins are easier to use and less complicated but transferring your license to a new computer isn't as simple as it sounds.
  • Sublime has an automatic file comparison feature, but it's challenging to use and should be improved.
  • Adding the ability to mark or highlight the text with different colors would be an excellent application.

I love this application. It has helped to improve my work. Also, I became so used to the shortcuts that It's hard for me to change to another editor.

Usability
Sublime HQ
This is a programmers tool. As such a lot of the features and benefits are lost on a non-technical user. To get the most out of the tool you need to have a basic crash course in how it works and what it can do. The documentation and community are good, but it takes a bit of time to get up to speed.

Support Rating
Sublime HQ
Never had to use their customer support before. There is ample documentation online so it's straightforward to find a solution to any problem you might encounter. For example, I needed to convert a string of HTML code to a properly formatted HTML file to "modify." Easy to do when there are so many users of the product who have needed to do that same thing before.

We've used both Notepad++ and Atom; both are great but nothing really beats the Sublime Text UI; super intuitive and friendly and does everything you need without overwhelming you with stuff you don't. Other options are free, but for our organization, it was well worth the small license cost for the persistent use of a great product.

Return on Investment
Sublime HQ
  • Sublime Text has helped me to focus on specific tasks, cutting out the clutter that many other IDEs have. As such, it has helped me be a more productive employee because I don't get dazed by hundreds of buttons. I can focus on just the code.
  • Sublime Text is so affordable that it's a no-brainer to have an extra tool in your toolset.
  • The Search features of Sublime Text are so useful that it has saved me a great amount of time compared to using Find & Replace menus in Xcode, Android Studio, or Eclipse.
