Chose Sublime Text
I used to code on Adobe Dreamweaver before. Dreamweaver software was very heavy for my code, but Sublime Text is a much lighter software compared to Dreamweaver, and I can easily use Sublime Text anywhere because its software takes up very little space.
Chose Sublime Text
Easier to use, runs very solid (especially on Mac OS). Syntax coloring is the best. Possibilities to add plugins and custom things is huge. Connection with Github works great (never tested this with the other tools though).

Also, our company has chosen this tool so at my current …

These are all great but are either too expensive (versus free) or too complicated to hit the ground running.

Sublime is more customizable and one can easily modify a lot of its features. On the contrary Visual Studio only has limited customizability features. Sublime text is also very light and not bloated as opposed to visual studio ide. We also chose sublime because it has much …
Chose Sublime Text
Compared to any other text editor I've used, Sublime Text has the best user interface. On Macs, Windows, and Linux, Sublime Text makes editing easier. When I couldn't use Notepad++ on a Windows machine, I used Sublime Text instead. My colleagues started using Sublime Text, so I …

Other than Sublime Text, I have not used any other code editors, so it would be hard for me to compare Sublime Text with its competitors.
Chose Sublime Text
We've used both Notepad++ and Atom; both are great but nothing really beats the Sublime Text UI; super intuitive and friendly and does everything you need without overwhelming you with stuff you don't. Other options are free, but for our organization, it was well worth the …

Sublime Text has a bit more flexibility and doesn't take up as much space or memory as some of the larger IDEs. Notepad++ is customizable too, but Sublime Text is better suited for code editing in my experience.

Chose Sublime Text
Before using Visual Studio Code, we were using Adobe Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver worked well back then, but we were amazed at how much faster and more intuitive Sublime Text was. That's the time that we got into SASS, which made things go so much faster and more efficiently. Also …

Sublime Text beat out everything else we tried.

Visual Studio Code which recently became more popular is not as fast and serves a different market than Sublime's general text editing.
Chose Sublime Text
The main reason I moved from using Notepad++ to use Sublime Text was that I moved from Windows OS to Mac OS....

AWS Cloud9 is great for product engineering and coding where you must take time to pair program and code in a specific isolated environment. It is entirely cloud based so there's no worry about saving and data consistency. It is all hosted on the Amazon Web Services cloud. It is less appropriate for more general workflows that don't require a specific cloud instance.

My CMS has a small window in which I can edit custom HTML/CSS. It can be expanded some, but not as much as I would like. It also displays all code as dark text on a white background. On a page where I am doing extensive custom coding, it is helpful to see it in a larger window and in a color-coded display so that I don't have to strain my eyes as hard. Especially when I'm trying to scan for specific elements and target issues and so that I don't have to scroll endlessly in a tiny window.

Pros
  • Great, fast interface - There is a large list of shortcuts that make development on this IDE an experience that can sometimes even compare to something native.
  • Integrated debugging/troubleshooting - AWS Cloud9 has integrated debugging tools that are quite well-designed.
  • Lambda integrations - Cloud9 allows you to instantly run and maintain Lambda functions. It's probably the best IDE for developing on AWS Lambda.

Cons
  • According to the project that is being executed it can become slow.
  • It does not have the basic text manipulators.
  • Shared terminals sometimes take a while to display.

  • In a world of free and open text editors, Sublime Text does ask for donations. You can use the product freely with only a very infrequent popup asking for donations. You can use it however long you like without paying, but it is well worth it to donate to.
  • People not used to the functionality may need a bit of time to get up to speed using the documentation.
  • An integrated terminal would be nice, but that is just a quibble. It's hard to find many cons with Sublime Text.

I love this application. It has helped to improve my work. Also, I became so used to the shortcuts that It's hard for me to change to another editor.

Usability
The interface for Cloud9 needs some improvement. It is simply not as powerful and intelligent as a local text editor would be and thus it lacks the capabilities of fast filling when coding. Otherwise, I think it has a fair interface that they have tried mimicking an IDE.

This is a programmers tool. As such a lot of the features and benefits are lost on a non-technical user. To get the most out of the tool you need to have a basic crash course in how it works and what it can do. The documentation and community are good, but it takes a bit of time to get up to speed.

Customer support is managed by the Cloud support team. I won't be able to comment on details, but it's fast.

Never had to use their customer support before. There is ample documentation online so it's straightforward to find a solution to any problem you might encounter. For example, I needed to convert a string of HTML code to a properly formatted HTML file to "modify." Easy to do when there are so many users of the product who have needed to do that same thing before.

Sublime is more customizable and one can easily modify a lot of its features. On the contrary Visual Studio only has limited customizability features. Sublime text is also very light and not bloated as opposed to Visual Studio IDE. We also chose sublime because it has much better support for the majority of languages(especially Python) and I primarily work with python.

Return on Investment
  • This software has been really useful for our company since thanks to the fact that you can work together with other colleagues in the same code, it is much easier to advance in the development of projects and thus be able to make your delivery in a much shorter time.
  • Because it provides all the necessary tools to develop projects, there is a great saving of time and costs.
  • It is easy to use so any user can use it and this makes it possible to streamline each project much faster and more if you do not necessarily have to be in the company to advance in them, and this is thanks to the fact that it can be used from anywhere with internet access.

  • Sublime is a cost-effective option for the company, as it isn't prohibitively expensive, and our team prefers it to other options.
  • Speed, customization, and scalability are just some of the advantages of using Sublime Text in our IT department.
  • Our work has been slowed down by faster coding and more accessible debugging apps, both good and bad.
