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.
