Hey everyone,
I’ve been using Sublime Text on and off for a while now, and recently I started wondering how many people here are still using it as their main editor in 2026.
What keeps pulling me back is how fast, lightweight, and distraction-free it feels compared to heavier editors. I’ve tried other options like VS Code and even experimented a bit with Neovim, but somehow Sublime always feels more “focused” when I just want to write code without too much overhead.
At the same time, I do feel like modern development workflows often expect more built-in features debugging tools, deep integrations, etc. which sometimes makes me question if sticking with Sublime long-term is the right move.
So I’m curious:
- Are you using Sublime Text as your primary editor for daily work?
- What kind of projects do you mainly use it for (web dev, scripting, large-scale apps, etc.)?
- Do you rely heavily on plugins/LSP to turn it into a more IDE-like setup?
- Or do you pair it with other tools for certain tasks?
I’d really like to hear real experiences especially from people who have stuck with Sublime for years. What makes you stay, and what (if anything) still feels missing?
Looking forward to your thoughts
