I love Sublime Text. It's one of my favorite pieces of software. I have it running 100% of the time on every machine I work on.

It's where I write all of my personal notes, blog posts, and it's where I wrote both "Game Programming Patterns" and "Crafting Interpreters".

At the same time, it's not the tool I use as an IDE. For programming, I use whatever IDE is dominant for the language I'm working in. Over time, that's been Visual C++, Visual Studio, XCode, Eclipse, IntelliJ, and most recently VS Code.

That doesn't mean to me that I want Sublime to turn into an IDE. I like that it's lighterweight than that. It's the perfect sweet spot for me of rich enough to handle piles of notes and documents and small scale code editing, but not so huge and cumbersome that it gets in my way.

Well said. I work in networking, and I use Sublime for editing router configurations before updating them/applying them etc. I love that it's fast and performant and isn't chock-full of IDE features. I've been a vim user for almost all my life, but a workmate showed me him editing configs using Sublime and he was so fast and quick (especially multiple pointers) - plus we use git a lot (sublime merge) so I tried it and was very impressed. I still use vim a lot, but I simply love Sublime Text (and Merge) as well.
