Does this I can finally add it to my NixOS config without having to use `permittedInsecurePackages`? https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues/5984 :)

First release in over a year! I had left ST when I felt that there wasn't the will or resources to address basic usability things like https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues/328 If anyone is following along in the forums and understands the health of the team behind the product, could you give us a read on the prospective longterm health of the product? Most in my circle thing ST is dead or abandoned.

Sublime also has packages. https://packagecontrol.io Sublime's de facto package control repository is handled by an Uber engineer and father of 5 in his spare time, not someone currently at Sublime per https://packagecontrol.io/about / https://packagecontrol.io/say_thanks and his linked site. VS Code Marketplace seems to have a number of protections in place: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/configure/extensions/exte... / https://code.visualstudio.com/api/advanced-topics/extension-... It also appears that Sublime doesn't have sandboxing: https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues/6915 > I love to see … Be kind to others. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html > "VSCode is perfect" Is the claim "VSCode is perfect" one that you've regularly run across, that you specifically called it out?

Maybe you can priorize https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues/1649. As a heavy LSP user, I find it very inconvenient not being able to copy text out of popups. Also, I think you should open-source `minihtml`.

That could be any number of things, I suggest posting an issue on our public issue tracker: https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues

I wouldn't mind the license fee as much if there was actually any development going on, but for the past 3-4 years, there has basically been 4-10 months between releases, and each release has been more or less bugfixes and rewrites [1]. There has been 4 updates in 3 years. The issue tracker for ST has 1863 open issues, or 41% open vs closed issues [2], and the issue tracker for SM has 1055 open issues [3]. I have no problem paying for software, and i understand that most developers don't work for free, but with this software it doesn't even appear i'm paying for "work", and instead it appears to be more or less a passive source of income for the developer. As i wrote earlier, i'm not entirely sure what i'm gonna do, but given the slow pace of improvements to ST, i guess i can easily wait a couple of years before updating, if ever. [1]: ht

i would consider buying if they stop shipping eol software. they ship py3.3 which is eol of 10 years! seems like a wont fix too https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues/5984 https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues/1163

I briefly looked into it (from the same NixOS issues), there's a GitHub issue somewhere about it [1] Effectively as I recall it a large amount of Sublime Text plugins internally rely on an old version of Python (3.3) which in turn relies on OpenSSL 1.1.1, there is concern that forcing the python version to something newer will largely break their plugin ecosystem as a lot of the plugins are expecting Python 3.3 and may not be compatible with 3.8 or later versions with supported OpenSSL. It's probably not a major security risk unless the plugins are making network connections, but it is an unfortunate situation. Edit: [1] https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues/5984

> Once you learn that cmd-` also exists for switching between windows inside an app, I find it's a matter of personal preference and you can make arguments either way about which one is "better"... Here is an example of how the app-centric model of task switching is problematic beyond personal preference: it causes focus stealing when opening GUI windows from the CLI. The apps themselves have to (partially, because that's the best they can do) work around the window manager's broken behavior. The final answer from the initiated seems to be 'you're holding it wrong'. So here we have a Certified Unix™ where something as banal as setting your $EDITOR to a GUI program is broken by default and even when 'fixed' causes your window order to be shuffled around.

Here's an annoying one: https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues/1054

Took a look at ST again. I forgot that it doesn’t let you move the sidebar to the right. This may seem trivial but it’s a blocker for me: https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues/303 Also took at look at Nova. AFAICT it doesn’t let you open more than one window for a single project. So if I want two files from the same project side-by-side I have to make the project window double-width, split it to two panes, then open the files I want in each pane. I hate programs that try to take over from the window manager. With TextMate, I just double click the tab and it pops open into its own window that I can move wherever I want. TextMate also lets me open the same file in two windows, useful when I need to consult one part of the file while editing another. I see no way to do that in Nova. This is basic stuff that Emacs has had for decad

For info, I was talking about this one: https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues/101 Editors like visual studio IDE properly fold code so that it results in a compact layout once it's folded. I would guess indentation-based folding could be made more compact and not take unnecessary lines.

https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues/4320 Ironically, version 4 broke this.

Thanks for clearing that up. I've added an issue to our public issue tracker for this: https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues/4225
