Overall Satisfaction with Sublime Text

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.
  • It's lightweight so it isn't clunky or slow.
  • It's flexible; you can add or remove plugins to use it how it best suits you.
  • You can integrate compilers with it.
  • You have to add plugins to make it a functional IDE (it isn't an IDE out of the box).
  • You do need to research to find the right plugin(s) for your use case(s).
  • Lightweight and easy to use.
  • Configurable per user so nobody's stuck in a one-size-fits-all that doesn't actually fit.
  • Handles large files well.
  • It's a great Swiss army knife type of tool for various uses on various teams.
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.

Yes

Did implementation of Sublime Text go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Sublime Text again?

Yes

It's very fast, and out of the box, it's minimalistic and easy to use. It's great for a text editor, and it's great for configuring your own IDE, but it does take some research to find the right plugins and modifications for your needs. It also works on Mac OS or Windows, which is nice.
