Overall Satisfaction with Sublime Text

Sublime Text is one of the most popular text editors and the interface is clear and legible. Out of the different text editors on the market, this one is probably amongst the best and the plugins allow for a suitable amount of customization so that different use cases can be addressed.
  • Plugins are helpful for different use cases.
  • The interface is intuitive and easy to use.
  • The different themes allow for a better experience while using it.
  • There is a bit of steep learning curve to using this editor versus others.
  • There are some plugins that are redundant.
  • Being able to have one license across different devices is very useful.
  • Sublime text is fast and reliable, making it very efficient
Sublime text stacks up very well against other text editors as it is lightweight, is very well established and has a large user base, and has a number of plugins that allow for customization. Depending on the language being used, there may be an editor that is more suited for different projects.
The support for Sublime Text is okay. The user base is quite large and typically accustomed to technology, so I don't see that most users would necessarily need technical support, so the support is likely limited to licensing issues. It is a large company and support is not always the most efficient.

Sublime text is great because it is extremely lightweight, the license for one user can be used on all devices which allows users with multiple laptops or desktops, and it is generally very reliable and fast. The only drawback is that if there is a language that is a bit more obscure, Sublime may not have the same level of support as another editor.
