https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27232271 I love this editor, but this detail annoys me: https://i.imgur.com/wu6ZfSa.png Folding code with curly braces doesn't "eat" the brace. It's indent-based, not syntax based. There is a 2 or 3 years old issue on their github, and they don't plan to fix. A little annoying for a paying editor. Here is the github issue: https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues/101 Maybe they fixed it and I did not look up new settings?

I've been using ST4 (beta) last few weeks ago, trying to move away from VS Code. I used to use ST2/3 before moving to Atom and then VS Code. My experience so far: - Feels so much faster (as expected, but still faster than VS Code - I'm on M1 MBA) - Settings are still in JSON instead of GUI - There's no scrollbar markers [1] - I was struggling set up the system-based light/dark mode color scheme and theme, wished that it was easier.
