Sublime for Linux :D

#21

The project management for starters. Since I work in Symfony (and Apostrophe Now) projects a lot, it’s very handy to have the project consist of a bunch of files matching a certain criterion. Furthermore, the search and replace is a time saver, for sure. Other than that, the general keyboard centric behaviour is very ergonomic in the long run (albeit with a learning curve, as I’m sure you are aware).

In Linux, there’s GEdit, that is pretty simple and functional. It got good plugins but miss some. It’s what I use when I’m on a linux.

When I’m on a Windows (usually at my work pc) I use Sublime.

I have no doubt that Sublime is superior to GEdit, but GEdit is fine.

I’m using Espresso right now (on the Mac). It’s quite good, but still feels sort of like driving around in a Ford Escort when you have a Tesla at home in the garage.

Its almost disturbing to hear people talk about how companies dont do cross-platform, i can think of alot of cross platform applications in the commercial enviroment.
just about all of AutoDesk’s software. not to mention even Valve is going to linux to expand there client tell. Not to start a flame war,
but when it comes to developers not all of us use windows.
I currently use Sublime for part of my development due to one of the two machines i use is Windows but my main development is on Linux systems.
Only have Linux servers so it makes sense to use the same platform as my deployment enviroment. I would pay extra to get a better editor in Linux
the closest application i can compare it to is VIM in console

I sure hope it happens. I have a lot of devs interested in it, but so much of the dev crowd despises windows (including me).

All I have to say is…THANK YOU JON! I’ve been using Sublime X for a couple of days now, and am using it for most of my editing on both Ubuntu and OSX. I’m looking forward to seeing sublime rapidly becoming the most used text editor out there!

Best of luck…you’ve got a tremendous opportunity here, and tremendous software to back it up!

EDIT: Just want to mention since it was not clear in the post, that Sublime X is still in alpha, and doesn’t have full feature parity with Sublime proper atm. That said its very stable and currently rocks!
