Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It's free and open-source, extremely fast start-up times, uses very little memory, and surprisingly customizable (I barely did any myself though; I wanted to keep it light). I find it useful for swiftly taking notes at a moment's notice, but I have also used it to quickly peek through config files, source code, or even certain text documents--they all just work. As a user who swaps between Windows and Linux, it being cross-platform is such a huge plus for me, and is the leading reason why I use it over Notepad++. As much as I like tinkering with software and hardware alike, I also don't want to find out that certain features I use regularly on one OS's notepad don't exist on other OS's notepads, even some third-party ones. It's just some peace of mind.

Cons

  • It lags for ~1 sec when it wraps text for the first time since the app was opened. Even after using this app for over a year, I still find the logo hard to identify as a text editor of any kind. I still have to tell people who borrow my laptop that my notepad app is this, even when it's pinned to the taskbar and start menu.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It's lightweight yet does crash often once code is ready for propagation. It was difficult to appreciate the terms when executing running.
  • Sublime Text is well known for its lightning-fast speed and functionality. It is a popular for rapid coding work since it runs quickly, manages huge files with ease, and offers a seamless editing experience.
  • 1. It is user-friendly, intuitive and straightforward to use. 2. The user interface of the application is well-built and feels attractive to the eyes. 3. It highlights the code in different colors, which makes the code more readable. 4. It has a search feature to search a specific class or function in the whole directory.
  • Sublime Text is one of the elite code editors that has all the essential features and is lightweight and fast. Sublime can be used for a variety of programming languages. It provides different shortcuts and plugins to ease the task.
  • - The syntax text seems quite attractive to see because of the different color schemes used in the UI. - The user interface of the application is quite attractive and user-friendly. - Syntax can be searched quite easily in any file or from the whole directory. - It launches pretty quickly because of the lightweight nature of the application. - It has auto complete feature, which works great for languages like Python.

Cons

  • Augmentation after verification is always required once a hybrid system is online.
  • Since Sublime Text is closed source, users are advised to buy a license in order to continue using it. For their projects, certain developers could favor completely open-source alternatives.
  • 1. The git integration of the application not well optimized and does not work properly.
  • More variety plugins could be added , Otherwise no con in the editor.
  • - It needs to be customized to use it to its max potential, and the customization is a complex process in this application.
