Should I switch from Sublime Text to Visual Studio Code?

Question

Sublime Text

Greetings.
And more and more I notice that it seems as if someone is pushing me to take a closer look at Visual Studio Code. Now I’m using ST3 and, it seems, it suits me with everything, especially because you can create new files in it without saving and they don’t disappear anywhere from the side menu, and we are glad about this - I created a file, opened the file, closed the program and even rebooted the OS, open ST , and the files are all in their places.
But VSC's interface is somehow not very good, but there are so many interesting listings that it seems that you can do a lot of things ... I didn’t delve into it, but it seemed to me so.
I would like to hear the opinion of active users who have switched to this editor or those who did not like it, what is good, what is bad, etc.

Answer 1

I use Sublime extensively on a mac. I regularly read the admiration of people vs code. But all their arguments about how good vs code and bad sublime tell me one thing - they have not learned how to use sublime and are not aware at all about its functionality.

Answer 2

ummmm, well, it’s like Sublime is such a cool text editor with highlighting, which can only highlight and remember the input history, and VSCode is a lightweight IDE with auto-commit, tips and a ton of useful functionality out of the box. True, I don’t consider any of them to be a full-fledged tool, but I keep VSCode in case when you just need to poke something quickly and clearly, in the form of an experiment - it’s faster than monsters from JetBrains, although, of course, I can’t compete with them

Answer 3

vs code can slow down on relatively weak machines, where sublime opens almost instantly.
otherwise, it is better in most parameters: built-in functionality, extensions, active development.
but to list all the features for a long time. besides, not all and not always needed.
Here is an article by Birman that got me interested in vscode and switched to it soon after.

It's also a question of habit. many on notepad++ still work and do not buzz.

Answer 4

Hah, I also went to read and decided to stay with st3, maybe I will return to the question in a couple of three years.

Answer 5

The question was asked over a year ago, and the situation has not changed yet. By default, I also use Sublime, but sometimes I launch VS Code for a change, I take a closer look. This is all for quick notes, edits, etc., and if serious development, then only Phpstorm
