I still like Sublime Text in 2025

Is there any chance we'd see a Sublime Debug? Loved Sublime Text and Sublime Merge. The main thing I'm missing in my life is a really good and fast cross platform UI for a LOT of debugger backends. (I tend to works with a lot of programming languages, and CLI debuggers are really clunky to use).

I'd also be delighted with, and happy to part with cash for, such a thing.

I have found this plugin works surprisingly well

Wow, I did not know about this.

ST user who is on it still mostly just by inertia (learning tools is my least favorite part of the job) but really not getting the features I want/need from it. This'll help!

Cool, but git integration in the editor was also cool until SublimeHQ decided to spin out a dedicated client for it.

The only debugger I'm happy with right now (in terms of performance/features) is RemedyBG, but it's windows only and compiled languages only. In general, I mostly live with painfully slow debugging in VSCode.

I would really love to see RemedyBG's dedicated debugging UI/UX approach refined by some group like SublimeHQ. A group who knows how to turn the UX up to 11.

Is it completely removed from Sublime Text?

I love merge, but the simplest controls like stage/unstage/commit/indicate file status seem kind of essential.

Having said that, Merge is far and away the best git UI I've used. It has saved my bacon a few times. I'm not terrible with git in the terminal (I use it there 98% of the time), but sometimes... I really don't want to be doing things without a decent visual representation of the mess and chaos, and intuitive access to the tools available. I get why they wanted to create Merge.

Of course not. I was just describing 2 different levels of coolness.
