![]() ![]() With Docker becoming more and more popular, editors need to re-think how they determine where code is being loaded from.Īt the moment not even RubyMine can pull in code that’s sitting in a Docker container, and I’m not willing to give up Docker just for auto-complete. I used to be really hung up on things like this in the past, like OMG I can’t do anything without RubyMine’s context aware auto-complete for Rails code but honestly, it’s not that important. ![]() Sublime has decent enough support for it with buffer-level completion. Sublime has the MarkdownEditing package which has been an amazing experience. My weapon of choice for that is Markdown so I want an editor with the best possible Markdown experience I can find. This could be for your own projects or packages that you plan to open source. Great Writing ExperienceĪs developers, we’re often writing documentation. I’m not sure why but pleasant looking syntax highlighting makes me really happy and since my technology list will grow in time, I want an editor that will grow with me when it comes to supporting different file types. Sublime has syntax highlighting packages for everything I have ever needed. I want something modern looking with a ton of different themes and color schemes to choose from because I tend to get bored with color schemes quickly.Ītom in my opinion has the potential to look a lot nicer but I’m ok with how Sublime Text 3 looks. I don’t want to make pretend it’s still 1976. Let’s face it, if you’re staring at your editor for hours a day it should look appealing to you. Recent versions of Sublime offer a good amount of UI tweakability. I also don’t want to deal with random crashes through out the day, or having to restart it after a bit because its performance deteriorates over time. I don’t want to wait around for laggy code-complete windows, random 2 second hitches or dealing with poor performance due to a buggy editor. I’m fortunate enough to have an SSD and a pretty decent workstation (i5 quad core) but certain editors do not feel good, at least not on Linux which is where I do my work. The last thing I want to deal with is lag when I’m coding. Sublime is a champion in this department. Well, I want it to sync up to my brain and just write the code as I think of it but we’re not quite there yet, so for now I will settle with: Super Fast and Solid When I’m Writing Code What Are My Expectations in a Code Editor? I only just realized how good Sublime Text 3 is after having not used it for about half a year. Why’s that you might ask? It has the least amount of annoying little bugs that you may encounter dozens of times a day with the above editors. See my VSCode set upĪfter giving Visual Studio Code and Atom both a fair test for months I’m back to using Sublime Text 3 and I’m not looking back.
