		quaunaut on May 5, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: New dev release of Sublime Text 3 I'd be more on the Atom boat if it didn't still feel like the base installed packages were lacking. Having to install a package to get Atom to correctly indent Ruby was awkward, coming from Github, a Ruby shop. That's been fixed now, but speed issues, and the file search(Cmd+T) is just awful. It's definitely getting better but I've moved back until it's further along.

For me there's also the huge structural flaw of using RegEx to parse large chunks of text for syntax highlighting, etc. while blocking the UI thread.

You can't open large text files easily. To me, pretty important in a text editor.
