On: My IDE is too heavy so I moved to Emacs

Really? I did the switch and there’s no way I could go back to ST.

Sublime still feels a bit snappier to me. The ecosystem around it has obviously fallen behind a bit now though.

[hit8run → robryan]

Only partially true. The ecosystem has some really awesome plugins: - GitSavvy - Sublime-LSP (plus LSP-Copilot) - Sublime_Debugger - Terminus

All these together and you have a keyboard driven ultrafast IDElike experience.

Agreed. I loved Sublime for years but VS Code is now miles ahead in my opinion.

[cameroncooper → jonwinstanley]

In what ways do you think VS Code is miles ahead? With language server and debug adapter plugins, I find ST to be a very good replacement for VS Code.

All the plugins, The synced user configuration, github copilot, git integration (although I do use sublime merge a lot on the side), I used to work on a remote copy also via SSH (and I can't remember what plugin), there's just so much available out of vscode now, I feel like every new months it ships new features while sublime text didn't come up with an update in years.

[jonwinstanley → cameroncooper]

For me it is the plugins, themes, icons etc. As soon as there is a plugin you can't live without, there's no way back. I can't remember which one it was for me but when I saw a co-worker using it I had to give VS Code another try.

Migrating over is easy too as you can import your shortcuts with "Sublime Text Keymap and Settings Importer"
