Sublime Text developer here, thank you for all the praise! I'm looking forward to what we can accomplish this year. If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer.

Hi! I was a Sublime Text fan throughout University, and I would have loved to continue using it. Unfortunately for me Sublime lacks too many necessities, and that forced me off Sublime and onto the much slower VSCode.

I really wish Sublime would develop a more solid plugin system and have some sane built-ins such as a terminal.

> sane built-ins such as a terminal.

It’s all preference. I think it’s insane that people use the terminal in their editors.

Why is it insane? Along with a terminal, I also use a database editor inside my code editor.

That’s the point behind an IDE - integrated developer environment.

It’s insane bc I don’t like it :)

Like I said, it’s all personal preference.

I mainly code in neovim, I do a lot of work ssh-ing into other machines (sometimes with multiple hops.)

I live in the terminal and sometimes cat very very large log files and would like an experience that is terminal centric.

It very much surprised me to learn how many devs there are nowadays who aren’t terminal centric (outside of windows land)

Also I use my text editor to edit database records (via a plugin) as well. Editing DB rows in vim is the kind of crazy I like.

I've been using ldapvi to manage the LDAP of an entire college faculty.

Which plugin do you use for DBs?
