Sublime by SireHassan
Since I started using it, I haven't yet found any software that suits me better, especially for backend development.
Pros
I particularly appreciate its simplicity and the fact that it loads easily. Unlike other software, it is minimalist, which is exactly what I am looking for.
Cons
It's not very intuitive for beginners, especially when installing dependencies. Many people are often surprised by the appearance of my editor because they don't know it can be customized

My Sublime Text Review
high-quality text editor that I used for two years as a web developer
Pros
Sublime Text is a powerful text editor that has many advantages, including its intuitive and easy-to-use interface, syntax highlighting, and fast startup time. It also supports multiple programming languages and has a wide range of customization options. Furthermore, Sublime Text has a powerful API and package manager, which makes it easy to extend its functionality.
Cons
However, Sublime Text does have some disadvantages. It is not open source, which means that users cannot access the source code and modify it to their liking. Additionally, it can be expensive to purchase, and its UI can be difficult to navigate for new users. Finally, it is not compatible with all programming languages

Sublime text is a versatile IDE for most of your development needs
Overall positive. I would easily pick it up again if VSCode began charging for theirs--I still have a lifetime license for it.
Pros
I liked that it was fast and flexible and an open developer initiative around the product. Most of the functionality that you enjoy in VSCode began from a package that was originally built for Sublime.
Cons
Some of the package maintainers left, and could never quite figure out the key-bindings for the editor. They charged a premium price to use it also, and Microsoft gave away VSCode for free that had comparable functionality, so many of their developers left

A text editor that can defeat a IDE like visual studio
If you want to start your coding life or you just need a tool for writing text, I would love to recommend Sublime Text Tool.
Pros
Besides being a teacher, I do web development. I started my coding with sublime text editor. I love it for it's minimalistic ui and enjoyable user experience.
Cons
Although it will provide you with the first class ui-ux experience but it can't be used in real life big application development. At that time you will have to rely on software like visual studio. So it is not perfect in all cases.

Although the free version was enough for doing my job, I decided to buy the full version and I do not regret it about it.
Pros
Easy to use, it offers a lot of tools and a lot of languages that makes my daily life as a developer easier
Cons
Language autodetection, for example when I copy some code (let's say some Java lines), I need to specify the editor the code language that I just copied.

Sublime Text is a sophisticated text editor that helps you with your work. The application is highly customizable with plugins and packages for adding features and is compatible with many programming languages.
Cons
It is a sophisticated text editor but it is not a complete integrated development environment, which makes it necessary to add plugins and packages to add additional features.

Sublime Text an Alternate to VIM and advanced text editor
I use a lot of terminal on both Windows, Linux and Mac. Earlier I would use VIM for text editing and I still use but with a really nice interface, Sublime Text steals the show. While it may not be as fast as VIM, it is the best one for most use cases.
Pros
It's ability to process large documents, syntax highlighting and packages for most use cases.
Cons
The packages for CSV editing aren't top notch! If I need some advanced features, they are not available for CSV but it is an amazing piece of software.

Reaper for Code Editors: Race-car fast and buttery smooth
Compared to other products like Visual Studio Code (VS Code) or Nova (by Panic) is the Sublime Text so buttery smooth and rapidly fast.
I would say: Sublime Text is to code editors what Reaper is to DAWs (for music-editing). It doesn’t win a beauty contest but functional speed trumps make-up.
Pros
It’s super fast, reliable, free to use, and computer resource usage is very low.
Also: Even if it crashes or I close it, it retains unsaved changes.
It’s language-agnostic.
I am able to identify special characters that look like that they "don’t exist" in regular WYSIWYG editors but they do, something like: <0x200c>
Cons
For my purpose (occasional simple HTML, CSS, JS editing) it works perfectly fine and smooth. There’s nothing that stood in my way.

Unleashing productivity with Sublime
While using Sublime I found very important its exceptional performance and flexibility. Its deep customization options allow me to tailor nearly every aspect of the editor to my liking.
Pros
The speed at which Sublime Text operates is remarkable, effortlessly handling large files. Also, the wide variety of customisation makes this editor my favourite choice.
Cons
Updates and support can sometimes feel less frequent, which, while not often a major issue, leaves me wishing for quicker access to new features or bug fixes.

Pros
I really like the formatting options. I like how it color codes the text and helps with formatting your code. The interface is simple and approachable. I also like the use of plugins to make tasks easier.
Cons

Review on Sublime Text
I’ve been using the Sublime Text editor for nearly 3 years, mainly for creating, reading, and updating JSON files. It offers plenty of keyboard shortcuts, making navigation, editing, and manipulating JSON files quick. I also find it convenient that Sublime allows multiple files to be opened in separate tabs.
Pros
I like using Sublime Text because it's fast and has a user-friendly interface.
Cons
It has been my favorite editor. But after Mac OS was updated I am experiencing problems with some functionalities. I can't save a file in JSONL format, it always saves files in JSON. I tried to fix it in different ways but nothing helps. Also, the shortcut for the Pretty JSON format stopped working.

Sublime Text: Is it the best?
The best IDE I have used so far. This is the only IDE I can work with when I want to fully focus and just code.
Pros
For its money, its one of the best there is. There is a lot of flexibility on the product with the use of package control and it is fairly easy to access. Not to mention, its one of the lightweight IDEs and its fast as well for its size!
Cons
Well, if you are fairly new to tech or are barely using IDEs, it would be hard to work with customizations with sublime. Also, it is fairly slow when loading larger files compared to bigger, more complex IDEs. And if you're the type to be annoyed when dealing with sublime pop-ups, well be prepared, but its accompanied with an easy to access close button so no worries.

Sublime is great for coding as a starter
Pros
My number one coding proofreader for individual undertakings is Sublime Text. Its remarkable proficiency and speed let me work without interference. My coding experience is further developed by the various customization prospects, which incorporate topics and modules. My efficiency is expanded by highlights like split altering, strong inquiry and supplant, and numerous cursors. An interruption free climate is made by the basic plan and simple UI. I can chip away at my tasks effectively across a few working frameworks on the grounds that to its cross-stage capacities. In my coding tool kit, Sublime Text has genuinely solidified its place as a priority thing.
Cons
Although Sublime Text is a powerful editor, there are a couple of deficiencies. Finding and introducing modules is more confounded in light of the fact that there is no implicit bundle administrator. Certain individuals might be put off by the authorizing expense, particularly in the event that there are free choices accessible. Also, when contrasted with IDEs with additional elements, the default arrangement could appear to be obliged (for instance VSC has a lot more highlights). Notwithstanding these downsides, Sublime Text is as yet a strong choice for developers who focus on proficiency, adaptability, and personalization.

Sublime Text for Coding!
Sublime text is overall the best software which i can use for note making purposes as well as to work on my coding needs, Sublime text has wide range of languages that support and makes it easy to adapt and learn new things.

The GUI(Graphical User Interface) is the best thing i liked about it as it is very simple to adapt and also provides best coding environment.
Cons
The only thing i liked the least that each and every time while coding i have to manually select the languages i and working on to make it ready for execution which is done automatically by some other IDE's

Sublime text experience
I've had a good overall experience with Sublime Text. Its design is easy to use, and it offers many features, keyboard shortcuts, extensive customization, support for different languages, and the ability to access multiple files and projects at once. However, it has a crowded interface, lacks connection with other software products, can be resource-intensive, requires a license, and some sophisticated capabilities are difficult to learn.
Pros
Although it occasionally happens that a code may be messed up by me or that my long-term effort may be harmed, I still prefer having editing permission. Because Sublime will define and detect my entry for any potential suggestions, I don't have to enter all the code and style sheet content by hand, which makes my tasks easier and saves me time.
Cons
Sublime has drawbacks, just like any other software. For example, it isn't free since some users can't afford the license, which could restrict their capacity to work on certain projects. In addition, I noticed that handling big files open at once was slow. However, I assume that this will be fixed in the next releases.

The Thing we liked most is the Simple UI while still being powerful. Doing Text text edits is fast and easy, and Navigating even the most Complex Folder Structures was not a problem. The Auto Complete was really highlight and made Coding a breeze.
Cons
While having addons, other editors have a better and bigger selection which shows.

Sublime Text as a great code editor
It is a overall great code editor to use, simple with many plugins to add funcionalities and great customization for the specific development environment needed. However, there are other alternatives that can overpass Sublime Text as the best code editor, although, this will always be a subjective vision for everyone.
Pros
When beginning coding, Sublime Text was my favourite code edite due to its efficiency and speed at start-up, and for its minimal resource usage that wouldn't overload my pc such as others IDEs and editors. Its minimalistic interface helped me to focus on my tasks and the ability to split panels and view multiple file at the same time is really useful.
Cons
Although Sublime Text offers a large number of plugins, their installation is more difficult than on other similar applications, and their configuration is based on JSON-file that may not be as attractive as a settings graphical panel. Additionally, some of the plugins are generally outdated or abandoned.

Free and simple code editing that will help you get started and advance in your coding career
As someone who is not a professional programmer, Sublime Text has been an amazing tool to use while I practice and for hobby development.
Pros
First off, Sublime Text has a free version that allows you to jump in quickly, get set up and start coding. The ability to change color themes is excellent as it suits your preferences and allows you to code for longer without affecting eye strain. Highlighting and coloring text speeds up coding and debugging. Overall a fantastic tool for new and advanced programmers.
Cons
For more advanced features and libraries you will have to dive deep into the settings which may be a little more work than a new programmer would like.
