Emacs vs. Sublime Text

[jabbafett1988]

Hi everyone! I just installed, tried and quickly uninstalled GNU Emacs. I noticed that it took up at least 400 megabytes of disk space, and despite doing a clean install of Fedora 41 (Linux), only a small selection of the icons were rendered correctly when using Emacs. Because Emacs is free, open source software, it doesn’t come with any kind of warranty and technical support from the vendor.

I am really happy with Sublime Text, because it is lean, fast and flexible. I am a new programmer, and I am just beginning to explore Sublime Text’s capabilities. I might give Vim/GVim a try, but I do think I will come back to Sublime Text.

Emacs itself is a text editor for the command line like nano and vi, and, by the way, is my goto editor if I can’t use ST for some or other reason (sometimes rmate doesn’t work on the -R ssh tunnel), but that’s a personal choice, the other two work as well, especially if one is used to.

There are versions for GUI and I find none of them as comfortable as ST.

I didn’t even try to look for LSP Servers which I can use for typst (but not for Perl, though the linter/critic combo works nicely for my purposes).
