It barely uses resources. It boots in a flash. It is great on multiple OS's. No matter if I am on OSX/Linux/Windows I can have my familiar editing experience with me. It has extensive plugin options. You can customize the software in a flash using the built-in command-line style extension loader. > > **Cons**: The system for installing extensions is great and easy, but it is not robust on features. You need to do your homework outside of sublime to figure out if it is the right extension for you. You also need to consult these outside websites to even get a good picture of what all extension options are out there. > > I started using Sublime about 5 years ago. I saw it as an upgrade over notepad/notepad ++. I have enjoyed watching it grow and the features increase. In the last year or two new IDE's have come out. They have massive feature sets, and many are great tools. I have not been able to leave the comfort of Sublime 3. I have attempted to use some of these other massive programs. Only to find them to be a massive bottleneck on some of our older systems/small VM ware instances. I have found it nearly impossible to embrace an alternative as I would not be able to use that alternative in every environment that I work. I am a huge fan of Sublime. I do acknowledge that many new IDE's are making this a highly competitive market. If you need a consistent editing experience. You can literally run Sublime off a thumb drive and carry it everywhere with you\! Sublime is the most consistent editor I have used. ----- ### "Write Between the Lines" — 5.0/5 > **Rob** | *October 2, 2020* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ignore reading between the line; Sublime's ability to contextually understand which language you are coding in saves you the stress, instead offering you the power to simply write\! From the syntax highlighting you'd expect from other major IDEs such as Eclipse, or Visual Studio, alongside their ubiquitous autocomplete, you'll be pleasantly surprised with Sublme (the name of the app is sooo apt\!). But here's the sweetest part; Sublime is the developer's best friend.... It's plugin friendly, and plugin rich (heck there are even tutorials about how to write your own Sublime plugin). Everything from turning it into a JavaScript powerhouse, to GIT integration, adding language parsers, even adding 'epic sounds' wen you write 'epic code' (https://github.com/Atbox/CodeChampion) With the fact that you can even integrate compilers with Sublime, it's the world's loveliest text editor (which may as well be an IDE). > > **Cons**: If you want and IDE out of the box, go with VSCode or the likes, but in all fairness, I struggle to find anything that I cannot throw at Sublime Text with any real trouble to integrate... It's the gift that keeps giving. > > Sublime is quite simply the best Text Editor that I've used. It's followed me from MacOS to Ubuntu, and with all the language choices that have come along the way... You can even very quickly turn it into a JavaScript IDE competitor with just a handful of plugins ----- ### "An average text editor (not the best for developers/coders)" — 3.0/5 > **Chelsea** | *April 1, 2022* | Graphic Design Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The one thing that I like about this software is that I am able to use it to quickly write notes. I like to use it as a notepad from time to time. It serves well as that. I also like to sometimes use it for development because it has the capability to do so. > > **Cons**: I don't like that this software does not accommodate beginner developers. I understand that this application's main purpose isn't supposed to be coding (it is simply a text editor), but that is what it is widely known for, and for this reason, I believe that it should have more features that make it easy for beginners to develop. > > Overall, Sublime Text is a decent application when using it as a notepad (a place to jot down notes). However, when it comes to using it for developing/coding, it doesn't always do the best job. It lacks many key features needed to make it a strong developer tool and is not very user-friendly to beginner developers. To sum up, I am averagely satisfied with what it can do and with what it provides to me as a software. Although, there are many plain text editing softwares and this one has no particular features that make it stand out from the rest. ----- ### "Simple to use and a feature-packed editor" — 4.0/5 > **Suru** | *February 17, 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Smart auto writing feature of your function definitions that takes from the existing code when your number of code lines are huge with just one click. It surely is a friend for editing texts, programming using the color code options that makes it easier to program and debug saving time with a lot of shortcuts too. Even with huge lines of code, it does not slow down and offers a smooth experience. Also gives us the opportunity of taking advantage of external plugins. > > **Cons**: It would be a great added functionality with an integrated code testing environment for each programming language to choose from. And the cost for this is quite high for just an IDE which could be a little cheaper. > > It is a really good text editing tool with support for advanced APIs, special functions and so many other features that help us write clean, readable and neat code taking full advantage of what it offers in our daily lives. ----- ### "Sublime Text: A light-weight text editor for smooth coding" — 5.0/5 > **Sanskriti** | *October 17, 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Sublime text is a pretty cool text editor with an incredibly active package repository. It's light weight and available for multiple platforms i.e. Mac, Linux and Windows. It's an all in one feature-rich editor meant for smooth coding. Going with premium versions, it has lot of integrated features including distraction free writing mode, quick shortcuts, search function, split editing and much more. > > **Cons**: The only cons, I found in this text editor is that- it doesn't support direct installation of theme, extensions or plugins. We need to depend upon other third-party programs or IDE's to get these features. Apart from that, this application has no any further issues. > > Overall, my experience with Sublime Text was great. Since, we deployed sublime text on our desk we are able to solve underlying complexities at coding at ease. We are able to program or write codes for web applications to creating responsive websites, within a single text editor. As it supports multiple languages, we are able to switch between programming language or integrate one with another. Also, I loved the well organized folders tab that has extremely helped us in dealing with each and every files we need at work. ----- Page: 1 / 57\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2050132/sublime-text?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2050132/sublime-text) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
