Sublime Text 3.2 Released

Re:Sublime Text 3.2 Released by weew1211 on Wednesday March 13, 2019 @09:00AM (#19378132)

I originally used subl, then switched for vscode for 3 years or so, and have now switched back to subl. I switched back to subl mainly because I downgraded my system from 16GB RAM to 8GB (switched from 2017 mbp to a 2015 carbon X1) and vscode had too large a memory footprint to use.

subl is notably faster, its also a very well rounded editor with a tiny memory footprint...

But I also have the issue that the plugin support is abysmal, that sane defaults are non-existent and it takes a long time to get things to work well with a very popular web techstack like React, Styled Components, eslint. Even now there are times when the syntax highlighting is wrong.

It would do subl a great service if they improved the package management and created a number of officially supported packages for popular techstacks that allow people to simply (ideally) 1 click configure the editor.

I shouldn't have to read a 15 minute Medium tutorial on how to configure eslint, IMO that is ridiculous.

I really like your idea about officially supported packages, but also to group them together for popular techstacks.

This was exactly the same problem I had. There were so many options that just didn't work well that I wasted tons of time trying out every plugin I could find to solve my problems.

And I still didn't fully solve it, I just gave up and lived with annoyances.

Edit: I perceive VScode partially solved this problem with the download count/voting on extensions.

I use Sublime Text for Vue.js projects because ESLint support was so smooth! (just installed SublimeLinter-eslint) Sorry to hear you had trouble with it.
