HN comment orderI feel that the comments here are too negative, which ST2/3 does not deserve. ST is still a supreme editor and using/paying for ST is not a bad thing. Wasn't it ST which introduced the cool look&feel and features which Atom and VSCode now adopted? I love the ST ctrl+d select (even if it existed before). PLUS: ST still has a super quick loading time which makes it a great addition to emacs/vi in some use cases.
After a 15-minute test drive, here are the things I liked: - It's really fast. - Minimap is a really great feature, especially in conjunction with search. - Multi-pane layouts are nice, but what they lack is the ability to put the same file in two different panes. - Multi-select is a nice feature, but it doesn't seem like something I would use very often. - Search & replace interface is nicely placed -- as a bar at the bottom…
That is more than embarrasing. I actually wrote quite a bit about how I am not sure if they are actively developing it and so on. Sorry to see that it got lost at some point. I was basically trying to figure out if there will be any improvements to sl in the near future, and if anyone is having any information about it.
