As a Sublime Text user I really wish more of these tools worked outside of VS Code.



Last week, I forced myself to move from Sublime Text, which I used professionally for a decade, to VSCode. Underwhelming community output bogged down by fundamental limitations, such as very limited extension UI API, ultimately results in a second rate experience compared to VSCode, where all the new cool experimental extensions appear earlier, if at all. You lose productivity because the community size didn't reach critical mass necessary to produce as much good extensions as VSCode. And I can finally perform search and replace without manually saving edits in dozens of files.


Maybe you already know this, but when I used to use sublime I'd save those dozens of files with cmd/ctrl-alt-s (save all open files). I think this is a universal-ish command for well-behaved applications on both windows and mac.

I miss sublime for how slick the ui feels, but I abandoned for the same reasons as you.


Hi we are tracking Sublime requests here: https://github.com/sourcegraph/cody/discussions/10


There needs to be an LSP-like protocol for that sort of stuff.


My open source ai pair programming tool runs in the terminal. You can work alongside in whichever editor you prefer.

open sublime> start working

open vsc> 22 update popups and notifications + permission nags. > mojo gone


? I never have any update popups in Code. Are you on windows?

The only notification upon init is Copilot requesting Github login which probably uses an OAuth token that expires quickly.


> mojo gone

There's an extension for that too: "Mojo Post-upgrade AutoReloader" /s


VS Code is the Internet Explorer of code editors.


Could always switch!


Never.
