It helps visualize code components, identify errors, and maintain a clean code base. With its powerful features, Sublime Text is utilized by the Research and Development department to analyze large amounts of texts, search for similarities or irregularities, and update big text files efficiently. In addition to software development, users rely on Sublime Text for searching the filesystem, finding specific information, and performing batch operations on files. Its small size, lightness, large community of developers, and useful plugins make it a preferred choice for smaller websites with custom code. Furthermore, Sublime Text is commonly used in IT departments for text manipulation, web development, systems administration, and help desk operations. Marketing roles also find it beneficial to modify HTML files without the need to understand complex IDEs. The software allows quick changes and efficient meeting of demands in writing code for websites. Sublime Text proves to be invaluable in custom development shop workflows due to its advanced features that other applications like Notepad cannot deliver. It excels at writing queries, organizing thoughts, and viewing/editing files without corrupting their structure. With support for different languages/technologies and streamlined navigation, Sublime Text is highly regarded as one of the best text editors for software development. It solves the business problem of having to pay for an IDE by providing a single IDE for coding across multiple languages. Organizations officially recommend Sublime Text as their developer IDE to ensure a consistent developer environment supporting a variety of languages. The free version offers almost all the features available in the paid version. Users appreciate its speed, reliability, and extensive plugin market that enhances functionality without compromising performance. While some users may use other code editors alongside Sublime Text, they value its lightweight nature and flexibility for different use cases. Students in middle school technology classes also utilize Sublime Text for writing code in web design and Python. Engineers often rely on additional plugins to perform quick text manipulation tasks. Sublime Text proves to be useful for taking notes, parsing text files, and writing short scripts in various languages. Users find its interface clear and legible, making it one of the top choices among text editors. Developers frequently choose Sublime Text over other publicly available text editor tools, particularly for specific types of development work involving languages like Python, SQL, R, and data science-related tasks. Its ease of installation, setup, and extensibility through plugins makes Sublime Text a valuable tool for developers. One of the standout features is its multiline editing capability, which is particularly appreciated for tasks like reformatting and working with the syntax of a language. Whether it's writing, editing, or fixing HTML and CSS code, coding on GitHub repositories, or simply using it as a notepad for making notes, Sublime Text proves to be versatile and reliable. Its flexibility and customization options make it a top choice among users who rely on it as their primary text editor for viewing source files and navigating code.

Overall, Sublime Text has earned its reputation as one of the best text editors for software development. It supports a wide range of languages and technologies, streamlines navigation, reduces time spent on repetitive tasks, and allows users to focus on the parts that require thought.

I have been using Sublime Text for 5 years. I use it for coding purposes. Sublime Text is an excellent tool for professional coders. The best thing about Sublime Text is that it is open source and it has a great feature of packages. This feature saves me a lot of time and I don't have to write as much code.

We use sublime text as a Non-IDE solution for development, is a powerful text editor worth the money. if you prefer the simplicity of text editors, Sublime Text must be on the top in the list. It's a very very fast text editor without much heavy components or toolbars. Its loading time is less than 1 second. Its Auto-completion feature makes its best in its class, it helps us to write fast and simple scripts for automation

I use it for writing, editing and fixing HTML code for our email templates. I also use it for CSS code for our emails. We have a connection with our Github repository, so I also use it to code on our branches. I also use it as a simple notepad tool, to make notes.

Sublime Text has a simple and integrated interface. I personally use Sublime Text for taking quick meeting notes. Sublime Text offers simultaneous editing of multiple lines and code blocks at the same time, which increases efficiency and also reduces the time taken to do tasks repeatedly. The free version offers almost all the features of the paid version.

Easy on the Eyes

Sublime Text is my go-to for any extensive coding or for when I need to write new code. The CMS I'm using has only small boxes for inputting code and often results in a lot of scrolling with little option to extend the size of the box. Sublime Text helps me to open up the code and see it clearly and as more of a complete whole. It's also helpful because it will automatically adjust the colors to whichever code format. This makes it easier to find and recognize issues, and just to read. (My CMS displays any code as all one color).

Sublime Text is one of the largest Text Editors with IDE and is one of the underrated Text Editors as a developer I have used so many editors but so far Sublime is one of the best and we can write code in any language and support all languages ​​very well. it is open source and anyone can use this Editor. The problem like as Software developers need to work on different languages/technologies and for those all languages/technologies we can write code in this only.

This is being used by nearly all the people in my organization. It is mainly so since it has features for nearly all programming languages and supports plugins for the same. It is addressing the problem of writing efficient code fast by helping us with autocomplete, simultaneous output, color-coded codes, and other features.

Sublime is the ideal text editor I’ve found for my C++ programming language, and it works very well. C++ code editing has all the features we would expect. Unlike many other IDEs, Sublime does not memory-intensive and starts up. I like the idea of being able to see a vertical miniature. I can find code sections more thoroughly and hide code groups, which helps me avoid tinkering with unnecessary parts. There is nothing more appealing about this software than its excellent coding environment.

Sublime text is my main code editor. It's light, fast and reliable. As well, its plugin market has a lot of modules that may improve its usage without [sacrificing] too much performance. Since version 4.x it has improved significantly allowing code styling for several programming languages natively. Also, its dark theme is smooth so the user's eyes adapt quickly and do not suffer when using it

We use Sublime Text only within our department (IT). It helps us write the configuration coding for our network and IT devices. It's been very helpful to our department, the app provides a lot of useful features like writing on multiple lines at the same time and comparing the files with multiple layout views, either vertically or horizontally, its definitely great at assisting the app for our daily work.
In fact, I'm not using sublime text to it extent, there are many features and plug-ins which I didn't experience yet, my work on sublime focus on writing and modifying scripts which are later compiled to codes for networking devices at our organization. Before I use sublime I was writing these codes on note or word files, but after using sublime text I found it much easier and faster to write these codes with sublime.

Sublime Text is used only by some departments in our organization. In our department, we do data scraping using Python. In order to do this, you must know a little bit of HTML and CSS. We use Sublime Text as a text editor to write Python, HTML, and CSS codes as it is very fast, easy to use, and has very good code completion.

Our research department uses Sublime Text as our primary text editor for anything code-related, primarily web apps we write in Python, and any associated work (HTML, CSS, javascript, etc). Occasionally we use Sublime Text to manually parse through JSON data when the files aren't too large and it's easier to scan it by eye than running it through a script. Sublime Text allows us to very easily visualize different code components, identify errors, and keep our code base clean.

Several teams in my department use Sublime Text as a code editor in addition to using Visual Studio or Visual Code. Sublime Text has the benefit of being lightweight and flexible, so if you want to use it as just a text editor, you can. If you want to use it for working with JavaScript, you can add a plugin or two, and you're good to go.

Sublime Text is my workhorse text editor. In a world with a myriad of text editors, it really stands out. Editing text can often be a tedious affair filled with lots of repetitive tasks. Sublime Text does an excellent job of streamlining navigation and reducing the amount of time needed to handle these tasks. It removes the helps mitigate the mindless tasks and helps you focus on the parts that require thought.

Sublime Text was used by certain engineers in the company. There were essentially 2 camps of coders, those that used Sublime and those that used VSCode. It solved the business problem of having to pay for an IDE as it is open source. For myself, it addressed the issue of needing a single IDE for coding across several languages for certain projects.

Sublime Text was used by the web dev department of my company for probably about three years. We used it for local development of HTML, CSS, and PHP for Wordpress and for HubSpot sites. We started developing using SASS when we got into using Sublime Text.

Sublime Text is being used in our middle school technology classes where they are writing code. It is used for writing code in web design (HTML, CSS, and javascript) and python. It is an easy text editor to use and does not take very long at all to learn. There isn't much to it which is nice.

I cannot speak for the whole organization but I use it as my second choice of text editor for software development work. It's a lightweight, free text editor which allows me to quickly open any code-related file extensions such as .py .json .js .java, etc. So this is basically the business problem solved by this product.

Sublime Text is an outstanding, lightweight text editor. While a portion of our organization uses a more complex IDE, we all enjoy using Sublime for its speed, efficient design, and simplicity. Marketing roles inside our company that do not normally write code, use Sublime Text to be able to modify HTML files, and we don't have to worry about explaining a complex IDE to them.

As far as I can tell, Sublime Text is mainly used by the R&D department, and it's not a company policy - The R&D employees use it only if they wish to.
The main problem it helps to solve is analyzing large amount of texts like logs (searching inside, finding similarities or irregularities) or updating big text files (very useful and flexible "find & replace" capabilities).

Sublime Text is one of the [most] elegant code editors that I have ever came across. It is widely being used within the department as well as the whole organization for various purposes, such as writing code, [...] bash scripts on the servers to automate the tasks, [...] [and] submitting jobs on the server. It works perfectly on the local machines and on the server as well.

Our organisation mainly deals with Web Development Apps so we need an editor that can out point errors and give suggestions about the syntax in different languages even on the same page. It's common to have Java Scripts and PHP along with HTML, CSS on the same page. The best feature about this tool is it makes suggestions to the user about the common syntax on the language that you are working, without any external setting. Other great thing about this tool is its tab view of different pages altogether that makes navigation too easy unlike other competitors. You also have Tree view of the files and folder you are working on the left column for quick works. Moreover it has this feature which almost no other tool has: a "zoomed-out" view of the page pinned to right top corner for pointing a particular portion of module on your thousands of lines of work.

It's used by personal preference by a subset of developers. It's a fast, lightweight text editor that I personally use for front-end development. I prefer it over other editors simply because I like the interface and its relative speed. Other developers also use it primarily for Javascript or CSS/HTML development.
