Just want to say that I love Sublime Text and I especially love that it doesn’t have any AI in it and the developers are not trying to shove it into their app. Really hoping that they keep it that way.
That’s all, keep up the great work!
I don’t think that will last forever, it might eventually fade out.
Still, credit to LSP for doing a solid job keeping the AI hype in check for now.
I slightly disagree. I started playing with AI (Claude) and it is to some extend useful (boilerplating, tedious repetetive task etc). It is a disadvantage to not have AI functionality in the editor. It shouldn’t be up in your face and perhaps not even part of the editor, but I think it would be beneficial to adapt more towards AI usage. I don’t know about ST internals to say how much of that should be done in the editor or whether it can be completely implemented by a plugin. But I do not want ST to become an AI-first type of editor like many editors are now, so for the most I do agree.
I am torn myself.
Most of us devs experience burnout because of having to do setups and boilerplate work. Our teams are smaller and smaller so there is no “junior” coder to give that work to.
I would imagine an extension that is integrated the way Terminus, the terminal plugin works. It is not part of ST but it feels integral for those who want AI.
A plugin for AI is fine, but I do not what to see AI integrated in Sublime Text. I don’t want to use AI myself which is why I chose the Sublime Apps.
