A big reason why I don't buy sublime despite buying other products I don't use much is that it is not open source. That is a big one for me because even if I wanted to inspect for telemetry or other things, I'm not trusted to do so.

  Purchase it if that bugs you. Not everything is freeware.
  - hu3 5y ago
    How is purchasing going to make it open-source?
    - oliwarner 5y ago
      Unless the "it" there is Sublime HQ Pty Ltd. That'd get you the source.

        The original comment was changed. Originally author was saying they hate the reminder in Sublime. In that case purchase a licease. The comment now says they want open source only.

  I wish. Has bugs that make it unusable. (ie: read whole project depth tree on window open)

  I still use Atom as my daily driver. There are bugs, yes. Some are more annoying than others (looking at you, TypeScript plugin). But I enjoy the app's experience more than VSCode. I wish I had time to contribute to it, because it's still a solid editor, and I hope it lives on a lot longer. Also surprised there hasn't been a popular hard fork of it yet since the acquisition of GitHub.

  Serious question: Why does Atom still exist? On the front page they advertise something called "Atom Teletype" which seems like a ripoff of VS Live Share (or was it the other way around?) Why aren't the Atom people working on VSC instead?

    Because more than one editor based off of Electron can exist and something doesn’t have to cease just because the sheep moved to the next field. Why does Visual Studio still exist? Why does Sublime Text still exist? Why does Notepad++ still exist?

On Mac, Panic’s Nova is starting to look pretty good. A native editor with a profit model of “you use it, you pay for it” is more attractive by the day.

Does sublime support editing remote projects over ssh?
- RheingoldRiver 5y ago
  Not well, that's the only time I use vscode (for everything else I use sublime or Pycharm if it's Python). I wanted to find a link for you to include in this post but searching "sublimetext ssh" etc didn't even bring up anything definitive, which kinda tells you how not great it is. One option if it's just like 1 file at a time is to use WinSCP with Sublime as your default editor and just open the file, edit, close, but again, obviously not great.
  - yourad_io 5y ago
    Have you considered sshfs? I haven't used it in years but I recall it mostly working.
    - visarga 5y ago
      That's not good enough, no remote debugging and shell integration. VSCode makes you feel like you're on the remote system locally.

        > VSCode makes you feel like you're on the remote system locally. In fact, you are. It runs the plugins on the remote system. Which, while nice for UX, made me upgrade my blog's droplet from 1GB to 2GB memory ($5/month -> $10/month). But I figured it's worth it because it lowers the barrier of entry to writing, and anything to make the process of writing as painless as possible is worth it (and I'm still publishing once/week so I guess it's paying off)....
      - yourad_io 5y ago
        But it mounts the remote fs as local. You should be able to debug locally and do whatever in the shell at it is a local mount, no?
