I get that it's open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting

I was using Sublime Text for many years. Even after Atom came out I still used ST3. However, ST development is understandably slow compared to VSCode and it is now so far behind that loyalty isn't enough of a reason to continue using it.

I love Jetbrains. As a company, how they treat their users, the way they do subscription models (subscribe yearly, and if you unsubscribe, keep the license for the version you have still, including the ability to re-download that version), and just the prodding quality overall.

I've been using sublime since forever as well; Atom never really felt like a valid alternative because it was so so slow. VSCode still feels kinda slow but not to a degree that gets to be annoying. Still I could never get used to it. It breaks some system keyboard shortcuts that I use heavily (alt + arrow keys for example) and takes forever to parse files (to make a list of all functions in the project for example).

I wish sublime would update more often and have all the cool new things that come to VSCode every other week, but at the end of the day it still works better and doesn't really lack anything that's actually useful (except maybe for a few months before st4 came out).

It breaks some system keyboard shortcuts

And so does Sublime Text: CTRL+SHIFT+U for inserting Unicode characters doesn't work in it. :(

I recently switched from ST4 to VS Code (Codium actually) because of this and because it's easier to set up a Python debugger.

[-] Phen@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 1 year ago

I would imagine that setting up a python debugger would be the same on both since sublime also use vscode's debug adapter protocol.

It's basically one click in VS Code. It's more clicks in Sublime. 🤷‍♂️ Turning Sublime to a full blown IDE for a bunch of different programming languages takes work and I'm lazy.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
