This is well loved, cross-platform text editor. Nice to see that it's continued to be maintained!

I don't like the new default theme. I know it's a really petty thing, but I really liked the readability of v3 and damned if I can find how to set it back in v4.
I find myself using sublime less because of this.
🏆 I love this app … so clever. VScode may have more and better features by now, but I still loves me some Sublime Text!
Easily the best cross-platform and most simple text editor to use. Here’s a question though: will it be able to beat VSCode’s dominance?
@abdussamit It always has been a winner for me
- simple design
- super fast (can work on big files)
- memory efficient
- looks calm and does what it needs to do.
I will choose sublime over vscode, any day( which is as bulky as it gets.)
cheers

VS Code: $0 and open source
Sublime text $80 (discounted!) and licensed
Sublime text offers nothing superior to VS code so it will always be a niche pick until that changes. I wish there was a reason to consider switching back, some friendly competition would be healthy.
@abdussamit @sam_ayres Well VSC was developed by Microsoft, so they don't need money(hence they open-sourced it), While sublime is built by a group of dev who need money to sustain and create high-quality products.
Also sublime is basically free, you don't have to pay for it if you don't want to. They have an unlimited trial period.
And yes it does offer something superior to VS code. It offers way better speed and performance, it is also very simple. I mean I don't think you should watch a 2hr long tutorial on how to use a tool before using it (I see a number of devs doing that). and not everybody wants to code in an editor which is basically a browser.
Sure VSC has a lot of features(mainly integrations) , but while choosing between two shops, I would go for a shop with a better service than with a better catalogue.
: )
@sam_ayres I can give you a whole lot of examples of things that are better but are not used by many people 😊
Big fan of Sublime... and I don't even use it for coding! It's my preferred notepad. Helps me keep my notes and clears any hidden characters when copying/pasting stuff between different applications.
Love this desktop app. Using it for a long time already. Thanks for a new version, Will.
A very specific use case here, but I think it goes to show that this is a well-developed robust editor with great performance. It is the only editor I found that can reliably do regex manipulations on largish files. All the others gag too quickly. Yes, there is a limit in Sublime too - at which point I have to resort to sed, but luckily for me that's only in rare cases.
First text-editor I used for my first websites. Clean UI, awesome plugins. Would recommend to all!
Great stuff. Maybe some from Product Hunt community can suggest me some plugins for work with Python code?
I loved the features Sublime's engineers have shipped so I made this video sharing its new features! 🧡

They are making me savor the love for work.
Hands down, the best light-weight text editor!
