Overall Satisfaction with Sublime Text
Sublime Text is used only in our development department. We use it as preferred text editor for coding, but we do have some programmers who prefer Visual Studio Code. We choose Sublime Text because it is lightweight and has a large community backing it. There are many plugins that you can integrate into the editor so that you can have nice functionality that helps program faster such as intelligent code completion. You can modify the layout, colors, etc so that it suits you and how you like to work.
- Custom Plugins to support whatever language you want to program with.
- Super lightweight.
- Strong community support aids in the growth of support and plethora of plugins that make life easier.
- In very large files (10k or more lines) some of the plugins cause the editor to freeze when trying to do things like intelligent code completion -- which is expected since it searched the whole file for variables.
- Give the tools your programmers want/need to do their jobs effectively. Sublime Text is a preferred text editor in my company and a happy programmer is a hardworking programmer.
Most programming text editors have everything a programmer needs. There are differences with options/plugins/setup/prices, but I choose Sublime because it is well supported and widely used.
