> not suitable for editing multi-file projects What does this mean?

Neither Sublime nor VsCode have the deep introspection and refactoring capability of an IDE like JetBrains. Or concepts of projects that each have their own files, windows etc.

  > concepts of projects that each have their own files, windows etc. Both Sublime and VSCode definitely have a concept of projects with their own files and windows. Is your complaint that the projects are folder-based instead of taking the form of a "project file" containing a list of files in the project? Because I really see the latter as an anti-feature.

    Let's use sublime as an example. File. Open Folder. Select folder. It now shows a tree on the left. Now I want to change a variable, struct or enum name project-wide; there's no obvious way.

      That's your first complaint, about refactoring. It has nothing to do with your second complaint about the project structure. Also, Sublime doesn't do refactoring but VSCode totally does, given appropriate language server support which does exist for e.g. typescript. I have no problem believing that IntelliJ has more and fancier refactorings and code navigation features, but honestly I have never had a lot of use for anything more than rename, goto definition, find all references, and most importantly function/variable name completion, which all work great in VSCode.

        Sublime does as well, for languages with LSP support
        modeless 4y ago
        Only with a third party LSP plugin right? My experience with LSP in Sublime has been bad. I'm not planning to try it again until LSP support is built in.
        ptomato 4y ago
        yup, though it's worked pretty well with the languages I've tried it with (go & rust)

        I've heard this before, but have been unable to make it work in practice, for VsCode.
        modeless 4y ago
        Fair enough. Languages which are not typescript may not have good LSP implementations.
