Light weight and easy to install. Plugins can be installed for advanced feature. Can open majot types of programming language files. Inbuilt auto complete features. > > **Cons**: Doesnt come with a shell, so you may not be able to run your program directly via the text editor, except you install the console or you configure the command line interface. Every other thing is okay. > > Using sublime is a blessing. It superb and supports major programming and coding languages. ----- ### "Great, Minimal Text Editor\!" — 5.0/5 > **Alexander** | *1 December 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how minimal the text editor is, as well as the small amount of system resources it uses. > > **Cons**: I've had some issues with the application scaling on high resolution monitors, but aside from that it's worked very well. ----- ### "The fastest lightweight text editor for large files and quick edits" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *15 January 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The performance is second to none. It opens immediately and works with huge log files (size in GBs) without crashing, a problem other IDEs have. The Multi-Edit / Multi-Cursor tool is a Godsend for immediate refactoring or working with data lists. > > **Cons**: Unless you have bought a license, the 'Unregistered' alert that pops up every so often can be irritating. Furthermore, compared to the current extension market places available with VSCode, using Package Control to manage plugins seems dated and less user-friendly than current systems. > > While I use full IDEs for my development jobs, I keep Sublime Text running in parallel for my other tools: note-taking (quick notepad), regex replacement, and the analysis of heavy server logs. I love Sublime for its dependability, minimalist design, and speed. ----- ### "Change the way of your coding" — 5.0/5 > **Fazal Rahman** | *24 April 2023* | Program Development | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the editing permission, even sometime it can happen a code can be mixed by any mean from my own-self or any damaged in my long term works. Sublime is easy for me i don’t need to write all the text of code and style sheet word by word it will define and detect my entry for any possible suggestion which is an ease in my tasks and time saving environment. > > **Cons**: Just i was denied access for my own file once which will put us into question after searching for a way online i figured out to access my data. else i don’t see anything that i would like least about sublime. > > I have a great experience as a starter with sublime however i have used many more IDEs after but sublime was and is awesome and time saving for me. Its pre-defined library helps me to write my code very fast and complete it soon. ----- Page: 1 / 57\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/285067/sublime-text?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/285067/sublime-text) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
