NikiSublime Text is great not because it froze in time, but because the time it froze in was the best time for software.
People were making products good for users, and corporations haven’t figured out yet how to exploit or sell users
Marcin Wichary@nikitonsky I have just been thinking about this! Should I go back to it? I wanna know more of that story.
@mwichary I mean, I have been happy for many years. I enjoy that it doesn’t distract me and isn’t needy. Simple and elegant
@nikitonsky Is it maintained and intentionally “finished,” or abandoned?
@mwichary Oh, it is maintained but they barely change anything. Like this was one of the bigger updates and it was 1 year ago. If you configure your color scheme and your font and rest of the settings you probably won’t need to touch anything for 10+ years. Even bigger releases (2 -> 3 -> 4) look almost identical (but add some nice APIs for plugins, optimize rendering etc) https://www.sublimetext.com/blog/articles/sublime-text-4200
Trey@nikitonsky @mwichary this is tempting me to give it another shot, but I’m like 90% happy with #HelixEditor
