Message from a long time user of sublime - Love fest of community thanks!

[NZKiwi]

I have used sublime text for half a decade now, and I think it only took me a few months to see its true value in my workflow.

I opened sublime today to see such a list of improvements to GIT integration, this can only be fantastic for my workflow - and I’ll now try Sublime Merge too.

As a developer I understand the view from a technical team is mostly triage of the constant influx of bug reports and driving improvements to keep existing customers, and drive product focus forward. However what doesn’t come back so much is…

Thankyou, I’ve used sublime for so many years, I struggle to use other text editors because they’re not as intuitive, performant or beautiful on the eyes. All of this comes back to the development team and the guidance of community feedback. So thank you all for driving sublime forward and allowing all of us users to enjoy the constant updates on a regular cadence.

Also my favourite feature has to be multiple cursors, so powerful for replacing one off jobs I’d usually have to code, for me they’re so easy to use in sublime.

Thanks for your message!

I had the exact same thinking. Created an account just to say thank you!

Would like to echo NZKiwi’s thoughts. Am so appreciative of the speed and elegance of SublimeText. I use it every day for text editing in markdown with multiple projects and have done so for quite some time.

Thank you for creating such an excellent product.

I’ll join this love fest too.

I am not a developer, but can’t say enough about how I appreciate having Sublime Text.

Some of the reasons:

1. I work on my laptop utiliizing the battery a lot. Sublime is very efficient and works on Mac, windows and Linux. Truly amazing.
2. Not being a developer, I fully appreciate how easy it is to create python scripts to automate things in the editor. I looked at vscode and was completely overwhelmed with their extension process and language.
3. A clean minimal interface.

There are many other reasons, but these three can’t be emphasized enough.

Love fest is a great term - title upgraded!

Nice thread! I’ve also used ST since almost the very beginning…

Discovering ST has been one of the best things that happened to me as a professional developer, I’ve been coding for more than 20years and tested dozens (if not hundreds) of text editors as well as many different IDEs running on countless of different programming languages & all sorts of operating systems. Time flies since I’d started coding on the Amstrad CPC 464 lol

I’d never been happy with any workflow till i discovered SublimeText, since that time everything has been smoother and smoother and nowadays working with tons of different languages and complex large projects at the same time is just a pleasure and I’ve become really productive thanks to Sublime. I’ve always though Sublime has been able to gather the real “requirements” a text-editor intended for serious coding should have, no more, no less. The effort has been put in the right hot spots that other tools at that time (even nowadays) failed miserably…

So yeah, thanks for having created this wonderful software, a tool that was able to generalize the whole bunch of different important relevant use-cases & requirements from the whole jungle of existing tools at that time.

I think it’s not the first time I’ve complimented this software but this thread is nice so it’s not bad once in a while telling being grateful with the people behind the scenes. By people I don’t mean just the awesome SublimeHQ team but also the community as a whole, every little grain that adds value to the product basically

Peace!

I’m using ST for more than 10 years, not looking back for a second, still my favorite tool for work.

Well done @jps and team!

Just looked at my product license and discovered I’ve been using ST for exactly 5 years and 1 day, well had a license for that time anyway (probably used ST for a few days before purchasing).

I utterly and completely adore it !! I think it is probably the only piece of software that I could not replace with something else and still have comparable quality. Top marks to JPS and the team (although that seems horribly inadequate).

I’ve managed to CONVERT several coders to ST with 5-10 minute look at what I can do with ST demos. One friend was sold after approx. 20 seconds, as soon as I demoed multiple selections, his response was something like “Holy ****, that is SOOOOO cool” and I spent the next several days replying to how-do-I emails. When he mailed me a copy of his first plugin I knew he too was now a TRUE BELIEVER.

I gotta tell you. I’ve been using Sublime txt for a decade and Sublime Merge a week. I just purchased Sublime Merge because it is such a fantastic product to use.

Thanks guys!
