Overall Satisfaction with Sublime Text
Sublime Text was used by the web dev department of my company for probably about three years. We used it for local development of HTML, CSS, and PHP for Wordpress and for HubSpot sites. We started developing using SASS when we got into using Sublime Text.
- Code hinting
- Plugins
- Organization
- Compiling--need another program for compiling. That's really the only downside that I saw.
- Fast! It's a snappy program
- Globbing is a nice piece that we can't do with Visual Studio Code
- When we moved to Visual Studio Code, we started using SASS, which greatly improved our speed and efficiency
- Made for quicker/easier global CSS changes than our previous workflow
Before using Visual Studio Code, we were using Adobe Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver worked well back then, but we were amazed at how much faster and more intuitive Sublime Text was. That's the time that we got into SASS, which made things go so much faster and more efficiently. Also Sublime Text just feels so much more streamlined than Dreamweaver. Faster, easier, more intuitive to use. However, about eight months ago, we moved over to Visual Studio Code. I find Visual Studio Code to be pretty similar to Sublime Text in many ways, but the main reason why we moved to Visual Studio Code was that it enabled us to stop needing to use another program for compiling, which just makes life that much easier.
