Long time user (like 25 years) first time caller.
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.
Just made an account because this thread seemed relevant to why I use Sublime.
Primarily - I am using Cursor still. To do my work these days I need it, however, I really appreciate Sublime for being simple but easily improvable. It came up one day that I really wanted to not use Cursor for a minute, but I still needed access to Azure llm tools, which is just a slight difference from the regular endpoints.
One of the plugins already existing is awesome, it’s not really agentized or anything and I don’t necessarily want that in what is more my main traditional editor, but it lets me not have to alt tab a bunch if it’s a really annoying problem or I just want to ask a really quick question at api cost (because I genuinely get 10000x better responses from dedicated api models, ofc, and it changed the game entirely), it’s super cool to have that option without it being excessively integrated. It feels like I’m asking the editor itself sometimes, since it populates the response in-line.
