Eh.. I gave ST4 a go earlier this year and moved away from it due to plugins I wanted not being updated for years, and no longer working. That really feels on the cusp of being dead to me

There needs to be a critical mass of people using it for things that aren't core to stay updated



I don't run that many plugins to be fair, but the ones I do run (of which at least a couple are no longer maintained) works fine.

The key plugins I use are some LSP servers, and they work wonders. The few languages I mainly use (yaml, json, TS/JS, python and Go) I get great language support for via the LSP servers and the editor is blissfully fast always.

I could live without even the LSP stuff, but the one feature I can't live without is Sublime's excellent recovery support. Every once in a while my system will crash, and even though I've had multiple unsaved buffers Sublime recovers them every single time. Saved my butt more times than I want to know!


Out of curiosity which plugins didn't work for you?


wish I could remember, this was a good 6 months ago
