Overall Satisfaction with Sublime Text

We use Sublime Text as our primary text/code editor for all web and application development. Sublime Text gives us the tools necessary for modern complex development environments. Our primary work is custom WordPress development, and Sublime Text allows us to navigate and stay on top of the thousands of files that make up a modern day website framework.
  • Sublime Text's code syntax highlighting makes navigating lines of code a breeze.
  • The flexibility and customization of Sublime text allow us to tailor its feature set to our specific needs.
  • All developers know how valuable keyboard shortcuts are, and Sublime Text's keyboard navigation and shortcuts system is amazing.
  • Sublime Text is a serious text editor and does come with a learning curve. While it's still great for basic text editing needs, it's more geared towards developers.
  • Because Sublime Text is so customizable, some user-friendliness is lost in the process.
  • Using Sublime Text has increased the speed of code writing/editing, which is good for the bottom line.
  • Sublime Text's build quality, and therefore lack of crashing, is greatly appreciated.
  • I have don't have any negative effects of using Sublime Text.
I have used Coda by Panic and it's pretty good, but not anywhere near as
robust as Sublime Text. Years ago I used Dreamweaver, but that was before I really knew what I was doing. I've briefly tried BBEdit, Atom, TextWrangler, and Notepad++, but didn't love any of them. Sublime Text is the industry standard for the industry I want to be in. I know some other editors are also popular, but I just like the way Sublime Text works better -- some things are intangible.
If you are a serious web or application developer, I think Sublime Text is a slam dunk. If you are shy about learning serious developer tools, then you may want to skip Sublime Text and look for something more simple or elementary. Regardless of what language you're writing in, Sublime Text text has you covered.
