See, I don't think that's possible. VSCode only has 10 or so employees full time. I don't think they could make a good text editor with this kind of dev speed on 3 different platforms natively.

Sublime is great but it updates once every other blue moon for a reason.

I like both editors (VSCode and Sublime) and just want to point out that Sublime Text 4 is in semi-public alpha. It is "semi-public" in the sense that the download link is given in the Discord channel, but anybody could join it.

For nine months or so, there has been a new release of ST4 every 2-3 weeks. Development is definitely ongoing (though I'm quite happy with ST3 as it is).

I was a huge sublime fan, but it seems like the plugin eco-system moved on.

At the end of the day, I go where the plugins are.

(Not a sublime fanboy or anything, just curious) What kind of plugins do you use that aren't on sublime? I was reluctant earlier for the same reason, but after I installed sublime-lsp I didn't think I needed much more.

Dart, remote development.

I guess LSP could do Dart which is the most critical aspect.

Though I still need remote development which is non-trivial...

What are the main selling points of v4 vs v3?
