I've used it for mainly basic HTML, CSS & Java and the software has supported it perfectly. Pros What i liked most about Sublime Text is it's use of colour. Having different tags in different colour helps me to break up code, and make it easy to find any problems in which occur. I also used Sublime text on mac, so the software being free for Mac users is also a big positive. Cons I haven't run into many dislikes when using Sublime. The layout is very user friendly, might be a little difficult to navigate at first but when you get around it it becomes very easy. Switched from [Notepad++](https://www.capterra.com/p/185965/Notepad/) The main reason was from going from Windows to PC, the but user interface was much better from this product Review Source GB Gene B. Independent Consultant Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sublime Text is my go to editor especially when working on my Mac Pro." September 11, 2025 5.0 Overall I have used products like emacs, notepad++, the built in editor in visual studio and intellij and I prefer sublime text. I really like the new UI in sublime text and I like the fact that they allow you to use the free version for awhile to determine if you like it. I like the try before you buy. Pros I like the ability to split the pane and compare two pieces of software code side by side. I can use that to compare my version to the master version and verify that I only changed what was intended to be changed. I also like the color coding of certain key words which helps me prevent typos in my code. Cons I don't always like the auto-complete. It gets it right 95% of the time but sometimes it gets it wrong. Switched from [Notepad++](https://www.capterra.com/p/185965/Notepad/) I just like Sublime Text better and it runs on my Mac environment. Notepad++ does not run on Mac. Review Source MG Mike G. Member of Technical Staff Computer Hardware Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good software, but could be better" January 20, 2026 3.0 Overall I'd say sublime text is very good, but with zed and vscode available and open source, you do not necesarily have to buy a sublime license Pros The application is extremely fast compared to VS code. It is extremely user friendly and does not lag when you open large files. It has good programming language support and extension support Cons Since sublime text is not open source, it cost money for a license and there are bugs occasionally that wasn't addressed immediately. Review Source RV Rakhi V. QA Lead Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Sublime Text for over a year" April 9, 2026 4.0 It’s a great editor when you want speed, simplicity, and control, and it shines for quick development work or clean text editing. Over time, I outgrew it for more complex workflows, but it’s still one of the smoothest and most dependable editors I’ve used. Pros It is fast and lightweight—especially for quick edits or jumping between files without any lag. The search and multi-cursor editing were also a huge plus, because they made it easy to make repetitive changes quickly without feeling like the tool was getting in the way. Cons it can start to feel a bit barebones once you need deeper “IDE-like” features such as built-in debugging or richer project tooling. Also, while packages help, managing plugins and keeping everything configured the way you want can take extra effort compared to more integrated editors. Review Source SR Sameer R. Student Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My First Coding Tool – Still Love It, But No AI Support Hurts" July 18, 2025 4.0 Now I use VS Code for most of my development work, but I still have a soft corner for Sublime. It helped me build my base in coding. For someone who’s starting out or wants a fast and distraction-free editor, Sublime Text is still a great option. I’d definitely recommend it for beginners or even experienced devs who want speed. Pros I started my coding journey with Sublime Text, and honestly, it was perfect for a beginner like me. I loved the colour combo and clean interface — very smooth and easy to use. It never lagged, even on my older laptop, and opening big files was super fast. It gave me a nice push in the beginning. Cons One issue I faced was that some advanced features are locked behind the paid version, so for full functionality you have to purchase it. Also, when I moved to VS Code, I realised Sublime is a bit limited — especially in terms of extensions and integrations. The biggest drawback for me was the lack of AI support. It doesn’t have built-in tools like Copilot or Blackbox, which are now very useful in modern coding. Switched from [Visual Studio Code](https://www.capterra.com/p/186634/Visual-Studio-Code/) I started my coding journey with Sublime Text and I still like its speed and clean interface. But later I moved to VS Code because it gives better AI support, extensions, and integrations. I can use Git, manage databases, and run multiple tasks all from one place. It’s more advanced and helpful for real-world projects. Review Source Phil R. UX Lead Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Ideal for Mac users." November 29, 2025 4.0 Love it. If I want a very light, fast, easy to use editor for Mac Sublime is a no-brainer. Can't recommend it enough. Pros It's free, it's Mac friendly and it does exactly what you need it to. Very customisable but I often don't need to. Cons Could have some AI features baked in nowadays. Cursor and windsurf have them baked in but the UI isn't as good. Switched from [Microsoft Visual Studio](https://www.capterra.com/p/80230/microsoft-visual-studio/) Lighter, faster, less 'crashy' and the native Mac OS integration is nice. Review Source Nuno P. Senior Backend Developer Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Lightweight application full of potential" September 21, 2025 5.0 It is an amazing application, and I use it as my main note-taking application due to the fact that it is very lightweight and capable of opening huge files. Pros It is a very lightweight tool that has a variety of uses, such as a note-taking application or a mostly complete IDE with code highlighting and formatting. Cons Managing packages is somewhat complex, as it requires navigating to the file explorer to manage all the packages. Switched from [Notepad++](https://www.capterra.com/p/185965/Notepad/) Notepad++ was a very resource-intensive application, and whenever I had to open log files, my machine became very sluggish. Review Source ST Sarah T. Head of Marketing Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great if you do not need AI" December 6, 2025 4.0 Great up until I needed to integrate AI into my daily workflow. I would love to go back to using Sublime Text if/when they ever fully support AI coding agents. Pros I like the simplicity and straightforwardness of the Sublime Text editor paired with the flexibility of being able to install the packages I care about. Cons Unfortunately, the app is behind the curve in terms of integrating AI with the IDE. I ended up switching to a competitor because of this. Alternatives considered [Visual Studio Code](https://www.capterra.com/p/186634/Visual-Studio-Code/) Reason for choosing Sublime Text VSCode seemed bloated and overpowered for what I needed at the time. Review Source AA Ahmad A. Full Stack Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "simplistic text program with lots of potential" April 27, 2025 4.0 Sublime offers a one stop shop text program for editing, viewing, and creating that can be used across multiple platforms. Pros Sublime is so straight forward and easy to use that you can become an expert after your first use. Since it is so easy to use, you will end up using it for a variety of purposes throughout your day. Additionally, it has a wide variety of features that you have become acustomed to using, giving you a one stop show for a text program. Cons The tabbing for multiple open documents can become painful to navigate through when you have a large amount of files opened at once. Switched from [Visual Studio Code](https://www.capterra.com/p/186634/Visual-Studio-Code/) Sublime Text is faster and lighter compared to VS Code, especially when working with large files or projects. Some developers prefer Sublime's minimalist interface and distraction-free environment. Sublime Text’s custom key bindings and shortcuts can be more intuitive for certain workflows. It’s a great alternative for developers who don’t need the heavy integrations or built-in debugging features of VS Code. Review Source Zachary C. Director Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Perfect cross platform IDE" August 26, 2025 5.0 Pros Sublimt text is my goto text editor for basic programming, while it does not have the frills of VS Code and the Storm IDEs it is light weight and super fast, works the same on any platform and is great for web. Cons Plugin directory at times is lacking, but this is less of a complaint about the product and just the community as a whole being smaller Review Source CT Christopher T. Senior Creative Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Simple and easy to use text editor for coding." April 7, 2025 4.0 I think sublime text is a cleaner and easier to use code based editor. It does everything I need for coding emails and I prefer it using Dreamweaver. Pros I have been using sublime text for editing and writing code for emails. it does everything it needs and has a simpe UI which makes it comfortable to use. Cons I had been using dreamweaver for editing and designing emails, which has a split screen view and live preview option which would be useful in Sublime text. Switched from [Adobe Dreamweaver](https://www.capterra.com/p/233245/Adobe-Dreamweaver/) The layout is simpler and the code is stripped back for a text editor. Review Source MS Max S. System Administrator Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Text Editor With A Few Issues" January 30, 2022 4.0 Overall, my experience with Sublime Text has been positive. I would say that the reason I did not give it a perfect rating is because how frustrating it is when the software has to update. Feels like there is never a stable release. I have really tried to replace Sublime Text, but the stuff is does correctly, I feel like no other text editor can match. It's undoubtedly my favorite editor. If you're big on building regex and quickly modifying code, you really will not regret this editor. Pros As a person that is looking at code daily, Sublime Text make a big impact in my productivity and efficiency when coding. I will preface by saying that Sublime is my favorite text editor, despite some of it's issues. One of my favorite aspects of Sublime that outshines all other text editors is the way it does regular expressions (regex). With keyword matching on the fly and you can quickly build and match any regex you create. I also enjoy the feature for syntax highlighting and the ability to customize how Sublime looks; being able to customize your font, color schemes, and key bindings. I also really like that you can see the entirely of your code on the right pane, this is awesome. If you are looking for a solid, free, text editor, give Sublime Text a try! Cons Every great piece of software comes with some minor issues or things the developers can improve. Here are some of my least favorite things of Sublime Text. As great as Sublime is, it is no stranger to bugs. Over the last few years of using Sublime, I can say that one con of the software is the constant updates. Yes, updates are good, but it surely feels like Sublime has an update a few times a month. This can be very frustrating! I've also seen where Sublime bugs out and fails to update, no matter what you do. This means you have to uninstall it, find the latest software on their sites, and install it again. I also don't like that Sublime does not have a syntax highlighting package for Powershell. I mean, it's one of the biggest languages in the world. In order to install it, I had to find a random command in the web, plug it in the package manager, and then install it. It sucks having to do this when you have a new computer. Aside from this, the pros highly outweighs the cons and you should consider this text editor. Switched from [Notepad++](https://www.capterra.com/p/185965/Notepad/)[Visual Studio Code](https://www.capterra.com/p/186634/Visual-Studio-Code/) The above software are good, but they have awkward find-and-replace window placement, while others can't find on the fly. I think they are good for people that need a text editor, but when you start to code and build rapidly, they are not as efficient as Sublime Text. Review Source NI Nteziyaremye I. IT Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Your Key To Success: SUBLIME TEXT EDITOR" February 15, 2023 4.0 During my past years, i was a student and a software developer which made me very close with sublime. I used the free version and the paid version, but all i have seen is that Sublime is a great text editor and from it, i have realized that it can be even the most efficient according to many other text editor softwares around but also when used with enough skills and great environment like good performing computer. Pros Sublime is a one of the world best text editor which i can recommend due to how it is easy to get and download and installation is very fast. when it comes to the prices, sublime have a free version which doesn't have limit during it's evaluation but only allowed to create limited project but the licenses are also at a very low cost. I used it in 2 years of university and when I was developing my final school website as project. Switching from one project to another and customized colors is one of the coolest features that you don't want to miss. have I said about it's API? they work very fine and give you ability to interact with other plugins! Cons Like all other software, Sublime also have both sides like not being a free software because, some users don't have the ability to pay for the license which may be a limit to their project. The other thing i saw is about slow working when it comes to dealing with large files all opened at once but i guess they will improve in next versions. Alternatives considered [Atom](https://www.capterra.com/p/202763/Atom/) Reason for choosing Sublime Text The reasons why i choose Sublime over Atom are many like atom being the heavier in size hence the slowest when it comes to performance, the fact that atom is an open-source which can make it hackable and the way atom is lighter that sublime but lags when it comes to switching between files. Switched from [Atom](https://www.capterra.com/p/202763/Atom/) I switched to atom text editor because i wanted to make a comparison on how those two softwares work around from time to time.

Web Developer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Sublime Text editor is the Notes or Notepad that we all need (not just developers and coders)" January 29, 2022 5.0 Overall, Sublime Text makes my life easier by being an easy to use and maintain piece of software. It does what it needs to do well yet offers a power user lots of room to grow. Pros The best feature is the ease of use and out the box simple. There can many ways to make it customized and ways to make it work with other software but when you need a text editor to do a simple code rewrite. This is simple and easy. Cons At it's most basic, there is nothing wrong with this software. It has great documentation as well. The thing that I like least is that more people do not use it in favor of other bloated website creation software. Alternatives considered [Adobe Dreamweaver](https://www.capterra.com/p/233245/Adobe-Dreamweaver/)[Notepad++](https://www.capterra.com/p/185965/Notepad/)[Adobe Express](https://www.capterra.com/p/174232/adobe-express/) Reason for choosing Sublime Text Low cost/ no cost depending on set up. Works well for what is needed. Ability to add macros and extensions.

Independent Writer Writing and Editing Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Good tool, maybe a bit overpriced if you are just starting and you have valid free alternatives!" October 15, 2025 4.0 As I said, the experience I had is quite limited to a specific case, but I enjoyed it! I would certainly use it again! Pros The free version was enough to help me in a project, thanks to its specific and extended flavour of Regex: i managed to edit a large file where I needed a very precise way to identify a difficult part for "bulk" editing! Also, it's fast! Cons Maybe the price is not so affordable, if compared to other valid free alternatives, like Visual Studio Code! Review Source Elvis P. System Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The most effective, powerful and sophisticated text editor that exists." May 14, 2019 5.0 Thanks to Sublime Text I can work in my development projects quickly and efficiently allowing me to finish them in record time, recycle code for reuse and modify projects easily increasing my productivity and income. Pros With Sublime Text I can create any type of project without limitations of programming language or framework thanks to its thousands of packages available either for website development projects through HTML code or in application projects with PHP, Python or Pearl, I can also work on projects with other languages such as Java, Ruby, MySQL and others, with Sublime I have the ability to move quickly through the documents of the entire project with its "GOTO ANYTHING" function or with the “GOTO DEFINITION" which generates an index of all the classes of the project, also through its multiple selection I can make all the changes I want in different areas of the document at the same time saving me a lot of time, the COMMAND PALETTE allows me to change the syntax automatically just looking for the one I want to navigate through the menus, thanks to its documents division function I can use my screen in an incredible way, allowing me to visualize several files at the same time and compare code or look for possible errors in them, I can also change instantaneously the projects in which I work without complications and without losing progress in which I am closing, It should be noted that Sublime Text is the text editor with the best performance that I have used and it is cross-platform since I can use it on Windows, Mac and Linux. For this and much more the most effective, powerful and sophisticated text editor that exists. Cons There is nothing I can say, it is just the best. Review Source EP ELISIARA P. Avaliação SUBLIME TEXT Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sublime Text - Super light and convenient text editor" November 15, 2019 4.0 In general is a great text editor, including my favorite, especially for the lightness, because it opens super fast and does not lock during use. In addition to the available features there is the possibility of installing plugins with additional features in this way to further enhance and improve this editor, the only thing I miss very much eg the automatic generation of getters and setters has plugins to assist in this process, but do not automatically generate all the getters and setters you need, but just bring a body for you to complete by entering the correct attribute names you want to get the getters and setters; Pros \- Lightweight interface, loads the project very quickly; - Leaves the colored text according to the file extension, which makes reading very attractive; - Ability to apply functions by shortcut .: ctrl + p to search by filename; ctrl + s to save; ctrl + / to comment, in which case you still enter the comment according to the file type, where if .sql is -, if .js or .php is //, etc; - Set and save specific text layout and editing preferences in general, such as erasing spaces when saving, editor style and font size, etc; - Allows you to apply various types of search filters: searching all files, only files of a certain length, for a regular expression, and this is very useful as it saves you a lot of time when making bulk selections and edits in project files; - Possibility to edit several lines of code simultaneously. - View in two tabs or more within the same project, being able to see two files side by side; - Identify with markups which file you have edited but not yet saved, when working with GIT this is very useful; - There is the option to install additional features via plugins, and there are several plugins ready with extra features for this editor; - If you started creating a file but did not save it before closing the editor, no problem, because opening it again will still be there, which is very useful when you want to have a draft-only file and notes, and if you want to keep it for a while with the project, but you don't want to save it, because then it no longer Cons \- Do not open two projects at the same time, when requesting to open a new project the current project is closed; - Has no spell checker; - Okay, it's a text editor, not an IDE, but it could have the capabilities to automatically generate entity getters and setters; - No console for direct interaction with code execution. That's not why I won't stop using it, but it may be a feature that may be available in some future release.

I am currently using it at work and for personnal use. It it just my favourite IDE alongside VS-Code. Pros The colourful and organised nature of the user interface by sublime is so lovely. The software is easy to install and use. It has automated features which attracted me to it. Not forgetting the lifetime free trial. Cons I didn't find any setbacks with the software so far. What I dislike about it is the pop-up message to subscribe to premium when on a free trial. Reason for choosing Sublime Text I love the interface in sublime text than that of vs-code Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director, Internet Strategy Publishing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sublime: Best-ever text editor?" January 21, 2022 5.0 I use it daily to do my programming work. I've got a Git plugin that enables me to never have to leave Sublime -- I can make commits, stage and unstage changes, push branches, etc. Other plugins automatically format my code, show me syntax errors, and everything else. It fits me better than a well-worn pair of jeans. Love it. Pros If you are a professional programmer, I'm not sure you can do better than Sublime Text. Straight out of the box it is incredibly powerful. The multiple cursor feature is a life-changer all on its own. (If you don't know what multiple cursors are, Google it -- it will change your life.) But beyond that, there is a giant ecosystem of plugins and add-ons that will let you extend it to match whatever languages you work in. It's truly a masterpiece. And SO fast -- you will never spend a single second waiting for ST to get back to you. It's immediate. After a while, once you've learned it, it will become a part of your way of thinking. Cons I do wish you could print from it. But seriously, that's the only negative thing I can come up with. Reason for choosing Sublime Text I felt like I wanted to support an independent developer rather than Microsoft. Also, from what I've heard, VS Code is kind of like a duplication of ST. Why go with a knockoff when you can have the original? Review Source Irfan A. Senior Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best option to choose as a Text Editor" December 12, 2019 5.0 I'm happy to use Sublime Text because its fast and sometimes you don't need to create projects or open projects to make changes in one or two files. Its best for opening a file and exploring folder. Pros \- Sublime text is by far the best text editor available with huge support for a number of languages even free version is feature rich - Availability of different color modes is a plus in a simple fast and light weight text editor - Beautiful code highlighting even for full development because if debugging is not needed then folder explorer is the best option to easily navigate between files and work on different projects at the same time - Unlike other text editors Sublime has a full feature text search and great feature to search and replace text in a document - Ability to add third party extension and extend core functionality of Sublime is just an other great feature Cons \- Would have been great if debugging were available in free version but unfortunately that's not the case. But again sublime text is just a text editor and should not be used as an IDE - If you don't pay then a notification will keep asking you to pay which kinda frustrates sometimes but still software remains usable even if used free version - There are so many active version which is kind of confusing which one to use and which one to leave. - Well for a text editor I must say these cons are acceptable because again it should not be used as an IDE rather should be used as text editor Review Source Gharsallaoui J. Web Designer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A sublime texte editor" November 6, 2018 4.0 Helpful text editor, very effective in light web projects or browsing files, very fast does not have bugs or crashes generally. May be it would be one of the coolest text editors if it was free. Pros \- One of the first black background text editors - You can easily change your theme preferences like color, text font etc... - Extremely fast and light, it doesn't require a powerful machine to use it - Almost support all programming language without Updating or adding manually it's Settings. - A big extensions & plugin support that make your coding experience much faster and easier (like auto-completing, Emmett etc. ....) - Keyboard combination binding is so powerful, you can add a full code template within a second - the first text editor that stand out even if you open it 10 times and still be able to work with different files. - Great online support, well documented and can be installed in a very short time. Cons \- Not a free text editor: unfortunately, all these features come with a price. As a developer, I find this a bit disturbing especially when you see other text editors with the same performance and the advanced features for free!! - You always have to search for how to install plugins and extensions, it's not really clear and sometimes it can be challenging to find the right plugin and how to install it not the classic way. - No auto save as a default feature - Needs a lot of plugins to get it close for an IDE performance or characteristics. - Poor graphic displaying the project folder, console (including the shortcut) - Commenting your code is always disturbing (keyboard shortcut is very unstable) - Updating its preference need to be studied! You feel like you have to be a Sublime Text expert to adjust some features. Review Source Yash S. Software Engineer - 1 Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review of Sublime Text" November 19, 2022 5.0 As a fulltime senior software engineer , I have worked a lot with sublime and believe me its one of the best text editors out in the market as we can do coding practice along with the professional work, so i will highly recommand this software. Pros I have been using it for more than 4 years now, and its excellent GUI makes everything possible, we can plug in almost any technology and it also provide REPL access, so languages like python becomes really easy to get hands-on with sublime text, we will get the output immediately when we write the program as it comes with lot good extensions. Cons It is not much used for c programming or other hardware related programming as it required minimalistic gnu support which is not easy to inject with sublime , but for languages like javascript, python, java, etc its the best. Review Source RG Ruth G. Cybersecurity Consultant Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Sublime Text as a great code editor" August 27, 2023 4.0 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. Switched from [Vim](https://www.capterra.com/p/10002336/Vim/) More beginner friendly and powerful plugins.
