Now, Atom and VS Code have envolved a lot

Pros:

Native and faster UI interface

Cons:

Not many as integrations as competitors

I love Sublime for its simplicity and versatility. This is my go to editor for almost anything coding related. I venture out to Xcode and Android Studio when I have to, otherwise it's Sublime all day.

Love the new logo too!

Pros:

Simple, nice colors, versatile, multi-cursor editing and much much more!

Cons:

Settings are a little clunky since they are 100% code based. But this is a strength at the same time, because they are code based.

Love that the new app titlebar blends in with the theme.

Used this for NASM32 Assembly, Web Development, and even Java.

Pros:

It is very clean and also has tons of settings.

Cons:

Package Installer is a little weird to install when you are new to the program.

Been using Sublime 2 for years. Finally time to upgrade!

Pros:

The original. Faster, by far, than all the Electron-based editors.

Cons:

Perhaps not as many constantly-updated integrations.

This is a lovely note to start my weekend. Glad to see the eternal Beta is over.

For simple day-to-day editing I always use Sublime, and since ST2 I never looked back.

Pros:

By far fastest editor, WBond (packagecontrol.io) is now part of Sublime team

Cons:

Updates are like miracle, you have to wait for it.

I switched away from Sublime 2 years ago and switched to Atom. About 6 months ago I switched back due to Atom being slow and clunky. What a lot of people don't realise is that Sublime was very much is active development as the BETA channel had a lot of updates pushed out months before this public release for paying customers. It's native, very fast and I'm staying with it! Literally all my extensions are available for it, only the pointless gimmick ones aren't (which is fine).

I was using the beta version for more than 2 years and it was really good. I wouldn't have known that it was a beta version if they didn't say so.

Updates are pretty frequent. Major releases take time but the developers push minor updates frequently but they lack in communication. Other than that, ST3 is one of the best text/code editors you can find out there.

Pros:

Fast (tried with 10000+ LOC), lightweight, have packages for everything I need, customization

Cons:

If developers would be willing to interact more with the community, that would be great.

Have been waiting for some time for this.
