As of writing there is no disclosure of any particular license on their website for sublime text.

I must have overlooked this. While most of my programming is over ssh with vim, I’ve very much enjoyed Sublime on my own systems. Minimalism and unobtrusiveness has been very appealing to me. Free software is more important, though, so perhaps it’s back to vim, then.

I wish that the Xi editor was maintained more efficiently than it is.

Are you aware of good IDE’s besides vim and emacs? What do you use? I love vim but sometimes I just want something “friendlier” for a change.

Honestly? Gedit, vscodium, geany are wonderful tools. Not bloated, just enough to hop into code.

A lot of people swear by jetbrains. I'm still a newb with it but I can see it being useful. But I learned to not hold my shift key too much (and disable defaults). Search everywhere is nice but difficult to use if you have motor difficulties.

Good, lightweight, OSS text editors for the main platforms:

- Linux: gedit, geany

- macOS: TextMate

- Windows: Notepad++

And the one to rule them all: emacs (also gvim).
