Easy on the Eyes

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Sublime Text is my go-to for any extensive coding or for when I need to write new code. The CMS I'm using has only small boxes for inputting code and often results in a lot of scrolling with little option to extend the size of the box. Sublime Text helps me to open up the code and see it clearly and as more of a complete whole. It's also helpful because it will automatically adjust the colors to whichever code format. This makes it easier to find and recognize issues, and just to read. (My CMS displays any code as all one color).

Pros

  • User-Friendly and Intuitive – it's a pretty simple and straight forward software that doesn't take much to learn how to use.
  • Aesthetically Pleasing - the design of the program, especially the colors used when a code type is selected, is pleasing to the eye.
  • Makes code more readable – being able to take the whole of a chunk of code and open it up in this software, with the colors indicating types of elements within the code, makes it much easier to read the code, locate errors, and do complex work with it.

Cons

  • Auto-recognize code type – it would be nice to have it recognize what type of code without manually selecting it every time or even just a default setting for your most commonly used code type.
  • Being able to run/test the code without using another software would be very helpful
  • Invalid code detector – for code like CSS, something that flags anything that isn't a valid standard code type.

Most Important Features

  • Ease of Use
  • Simplifies Complex Work
  • Versatility

Return on Investment

  • Makes it much easier to do extensive custom front-end coding for pages on the website since our CMS code input blocks are limited in terms of display.

Text Editor for (nearly) everything

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

This is being used by nearly all the people in my organization. It is mainly so since it has features for nearly all programming languages and supports plugins for the same. It is addressing the problem of writing efficient code fast by helping us with autocomplete, simultaneous output, color-coded codes, and other features.

Pros

  • It is very light and boots up instantaneously.
  • It has tons of plugins that will help you to customize sublime entirely according to your needs and thereby is not bloated
  • Package control is really easy to work with and most plugins can be installed in 2 just clicks.
  • Free version has nearly all the features of the paid version.
  • Its User Interface is simple and makes it easy to located many features.
  • It gives you a ton of control over your ide setting through User-settings where you can customize almost everything.

Cons

  • The free version keeps bugging to buy and gets irritating(on the contrary buying it is worth it in my opinion)
  • Git integration is clumsy and sometimes glitchy and has room for improvement.

Most Important Features

  • Package Control allows everyone in our organization to use sublime however they want.
  • It's lightness is very much preferred throughout our organization.

Return on Investment

"One of the ideal text editors for C++ with lots of features"

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Sublime is the ideal text editor I’ve found for my C++ programming language, and it works very well. C++ code editing has all the features we would expect. Unlike many other IDEs, Sublime does not memory-intensive and starts up. I like the idea of being able to see a vertical miniature. I can find code sections more thoroughly and hide code groups, which helps me avoid tinkering with unnecessary parts. There is nothing more appealing about this software than its excellent coding environment.

Pros

  • Using colorful coding makes it simple to review or write code and accurate code completion.
  • In Sublime Text, there are a lot of shortcuts. It's easy to manipulate text, and we can text package controls to save a lot of time.
  • Fast and efficient, Sublime Text is ideal for working with large datasets. In turn, it enhances the enjoyment we derive from coding.

Cons

  • Plugins are easier to use and less complicated but transferring your license to a new computer isn't as simple as it sounds.
  • Sublime has an automatic file comparison feature, but it's challenging to use and should be improved.
  • Adding the ability to mark or highlight the text with different colors would be an excellent application.

Most Important Features

  • Multiple selections and auto-text comparison are simple to do.
  • Even if you've never written a line of code, a package manager is simple to use.
  • Multiple-color coding is both lightweight and fast, making debugging much more straightforward.

Return on Investment

  • 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.
