    A fun thought, Apple could acquire Sublime to compete with Visual Studio Code. It's native the way Apple loves native. It's already the favorite tool of developers all over the world.

    Do the latest builds support fonts with ligatures? [1]

    One of the reasons I switched from Sublime to Atom was exactly that, but I'm willing to switch back since I've yet to find an editor as fast and lightweight as Sublime.

    Finally, yes. This has been an issue in sublime as long as I can remember and has confused me more than once.

    I've recently started using Sublime again. There's a package called EasyClangComplete that does a surprisingly good job of auto-completing C/C++ code (yes it works!) and I like that Sublime uses less than 256mb of RAM most of the time.

    Also unlike VSCode it doesn't phone home every 60 seconds. I stopped using VSCode when I noticed the ridiculous amount of telemetry.

    Interesting exercise, look for 'regression' on this page:

    .. indicator that indeed, editors are hard apps to develop, imho, (perhaps coz:automated testing?) ..

    I used Sublime (2, 3) for perhaps 5 years or more. I have a paid key. I switched to Atom about 6 months ago cuz diversity. Now I am hooked on my of Atom's side features, but the main show is not nearly as good as Sublime. Unfortunately I cant pry myself free from the social, package management, and theming tools from Atom, but still get a bit frustrated each day because Atom is not Sublime.

    I just want to say, I miss you, Sublime. Can you just pls get all of the community oriented niceness that Atom has, so I can stop using Atom and come back to your elegance, pls?

    Can it print yet? I was surprised to discover there was no built in way to print out the text I was editing (on Linux). I do sometimes print out especially gnarly code to think about it on paper.

    Not even something as basic as auto-complete from all buffers... soon we will all have moved to VSCode or Jetbrains IDEs.
