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. > > 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. ----- ### "Good software, but could be better" — 3.0/5 > **Mike** | *20 January 2026* | Computer Hardware | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **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. > > 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 ----- ### "Great if you do not need AI" — 4.0/5 > **Sarah** | *6 December 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "My First Coding Tool – Still Love It, But No AI Support Hurts" — 4.0/5 > **Sameer** | *18 July 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- Page: 1 / 56\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/179535/sublime-text?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/179535/sublime-text) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
