I love Sublime, still my fave

The instant-opening experience is just soo good, and Electron bloat nowhere in sight...

I actually use VS Code as well, but more like an IDE with tons of extensions, and Sublime is my 'basic' text editor.

I tried to use VS Code but just couldn't stand it. I don't want to say it's sluggish but it definitely isn't snappy, not even with a M1 laptop. It's fine, but it isn't good.

I ended up purchasing the upgrade to Sublime 4, definitely worth the price.

Same thoughts.

While Vscode is my IDE now, I definitely love the instant-opening of Sublime.

Ironically, it's even launching faster than TextEdit.

BBEdit.

I love BBEdit, but its package ecosystem isn't well-developed compared to most other editors, and it doesn't have any kind of package manager -- it's more like Vim's native packages, e.g., "download the package and put it in this folder, and check occasionally for upgrades when you remember and re-install when appropriate."
