Although I use PyCharm as my daily IDE, I nearly always have a Sublime Text instance running in the background. I use it for note taking, small scripts, and so much else.

Granted, PyCharm is likely capable of most of the same things, but there's something about Sublime Text that is just so... frictionless. I don't feel like it expects anything from me.

The rise of VSCode has saddened me in certain respects. VSCode is great, and if I didn't have PyCharm, I would probably end up using it instead, but there are still certain things that it can't quite (and likely never will) surpass Sublime Text in (record/replay macros, power usage efficiency).

(I do hope macros will be improved to run all commands, rather than just text commands, but that's likely low on the list)

On a different note, I still consider the development of a continuation-like mechanism[0] for Sublime Text's API as one of the things I'm most proud of creating (if I recall correctly, Python's Asyncio library was still in the early stages back then, and `await` hadn't even been proposed).

Anyway, I just want to say, thanks Jon and Will, Sublime Text has had such a positive impact on my life as a programmer.
