A big reason why I don't buy sublime despite buying other products I don't use much is that it is not open source. That is a big one for me because even if I wanted to inspect for telemetry or other things, I'm not trusted to do so.
The original comment was changed. Originally author was saying they hate the reminder in Sublime. In that case purchase a licease. The comment now says they want open source only.
On Mac, Panic’s Nova is starting to look pretty good. A native editor with a profit model of “you use it, you pay for it” is more attractive by the day.
Not well, that's the only time I use vscode (for everything else I use sublime or Pycharm if it's Python). I wanted to find a link for you to include in this post but searching "sublimetext ssh" etc didn't even bring up anything definitive, which kinda tells you how not great it is.
One option if it's just like 1 file at a time is to use WinSCP with Sublime as your default editor and just open the file, edit, close, but again, obviously not great.
> VSCode makes you feel like you're on the remote system locally.
In fact, you are. It runs the plugins on the remote system. Which, while nice for UX, made me upgrade my blog's droplet from 1GB to 2GB memory ($5/month -> $10/month). But I figured it's worth it because it lowers the barrier of entry to writing, and anything to make the process of writing as painless as possible is worth it (and I'm still publishing once/week so I guess it's paying off)....
Serious question: Why does Atom still exist? On the front page they advertise something called "Atom Teletype" which seems like a ripoff of VS Live Share (or was it the other way around?)
Why aren't the Atom people working on VSC instead?
Looks like the original contributors have mostly moved on to other projects, and activity is significantly diminished, but it's an open source project and they've not gone out of their way to block the community from continuing.
I don't think we should get rid of Atom or anything like that, the point of my question is why the Atom contributors chose to not move on to VSC and continue to maintain Atom to the point of launching competing cloud options like Teletype. It's weird because both ventures are ultimately owned by Microsoft so it's confusing why they're paying two sets of developers to compete against each other.
I still use Atom as my daily driver. There are bugs, yes. Some are more annoying than others (looking at you, TypeScript plugin). But I enjoy the app's experience more than VSCode. I wish I had time to contribute to it, because it's still a solid editor, and I hope it lives on a lot longer. Also surprised there hasn't been a popular hard fork of it yet since the acquisition of GitHub.
