No. I'm happy paying for the software that I spend most of my time in. The claim in the article that Sublime is "overshadowed" by VSCode simply doesn't ring true to any regular Sublime user, especially if they can type faster than VSCode can render to screen, which is basically everyone.

I use only Sublime for my work. But to claim that VSCode didn't overshadow it is incorrect.

Everyone uses VSCode, and while I hate it because of the bloat, slow startup, and slow plugins, given a blind test I don't think I would be able to tell which one is faster in typing...

Maybe I'm blind, but I can't see any typing latency in any editor.

Just tried this and I can't jam keys fast enough to get any input lag in vscode. What are you referring to?

I saw the same thing (very happy long-time ST user) in VS Code _years ago_. Maybe the parent has that sort of perspective?

Sounds like someone living in their own bubble.

I dont understand this argument. Vscode is very fast after you opened it. Startup is slow but who cares? I haven’t restarted my vscode for a week now.
