Trying Sublime Text again for the first time since 2013. I fully blame @codecat for making me nostalgic about it. She already talked me into buying Sublime Merge 🙃
Still as fast as ever, slowly trying to replicate my setup from back then, but it will take some real adjustment to not expect all the luxuries of VSCode. Probably will use it as a secondary editor when I don’t need every IDE-like feature.
The community around it has definitely died down, and it still lacks UI it really should have like a visual preferences editor, but it all still works well enough.

I used a random tool to convert my VSCode theme (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=miguelsolorio.min-theme) to Sublime, maybe I’ll publish it to Package Control. This theme is about the only one I’ve ever felt is actually usable. There are some really bad themes out there with poor contrast between foreground and background, or between keyword types, or the color palette is all over the place. (Don’t mind that it’s using too much purple in that screenshot, I should have fixed that already, oops. It normally has white text for non-keywords)
