I used sublime text over so many years. Still find it to be a marvel when it comes to large text files, and how well it still handles them

I still don't see a point in switching from Sublime to VS Code. If I need to SSH in to my server, I have options there. But Sublime does everything I need it to do and it does it faster and cleaner and just better than the alternatives.

At this point the main advantage VS Code has is its ecosystem. I tried to switch back to VS Code a while ago but most of its plugins are outdated / haven't been updated in five years. It's not the whole story of course, but it just feels like it's no longer able to keep up.

In hindsight, part of me wishes I stuck with it for longer. I enjoyed working in it in a way that later editors didn't capture. That said, counterpoint, that was when I wrote a lot of JS in the early NodeJS days, when things like typing or even cmd+clicking on references didn't reliably work because there was no standard module system. Memorizing filenames and the like was still important then.

I mean… they still make sublime text. Works great.

I have a few minor quibbles about sublime, but I still use it for the bulk of stuff.

I still use Sublime Text, is it going to be the new Firefox now?
