Why do you think that it is not thriving? Is the company struggling? Not everyone needs to use the thing to be thriving. | ||

I don't have any insights into how the company is doing, I'm just going by the sample set of people around me or things I read. I'm a fan of indie software and native apps but I know zero people in the past 10 years that switched to ST. I know plenty of people of people who switched to Vscode and all the other free or paid competitors. It's probably enough to sustain a small company, and not everyone has to strive for a monopoly. But I wouldn't call that thriving. | ||

I don't know anyone that still uses Sublime. I haven't seen a company recommend its engineers use it either. I used to be an avid user until VSCode came out. | ||

It has users but the number of users is dwarfed by the big dogs like VS Code, Visual Studio and IntelliJ Idea - https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2024/technology#most-popular... (using 2024 because 2025 onwards is AI slop). People are 7x more likely to be using VS Code, which means that a niche tool is far more likely to have a VA Code plugin than an ST plugin. Other than that, if the 11% of people using it are happy then there’s no issue. | ||

That’s true. It’s all relative. | ||
