This may be due to folks being culturally different or English not being their first language and we who are native English speakers are very lucky that computer science is conducted in our native tongue rather than a second… I haven’t paid for a licence, but if I had, I do think some of the comments on this forum would wind me up, some of them coming across as a bit glib at best. This conversation reminds me of the debates about linux and windows, they’re on the surface they’re the same but in reallty they’re completely different in philosophy, financial structure and just about evrything else. Both are edible, but both come from vastly different sources. However that’s a bit of introductory chaff if you like, to the real meat of the problem, firstly I think we’re comparing chalk and cheese, or perhaps apples and cheese. (I know the conversation is about ST4 but I have no experience in that department I’m just trying to take a little heat out of the conversation and avoid doing some class refactoring/housework) However as my knowledge has increased it seems that this is the way for many configurable apps and isn’t just ST3. Now I admit maybe I’m not interpretting what you mean correctly (both communicator and communicatee have a duty to try and understand each other I believe) I’ve found the ST3 very light weight fast etc etc, but sometimes trying to get it to do what you want it to do IS very frustrating.

Until it doesn’t, I’ve spent hours with ST3 very much in the way. It’s just guessing what plugins will come, go or maintain. That’s the reason I consider VS Code instead of the Sublime Text 4 upgrade. I guess I’m not the only Bootstrap developer on this planet. So it’s nice to have a Sublime 4 coming now, but as long as there is no clear vision on the plugin management it makes no more sense to me to update and pay for a editor with a too small plugin base for my needs. Sublime Text is used by 17 million plus users if I have to believe this:Īt the moment there is not any Sublime Text plugin available with all the new Bootstrap 5 classes or any other Bootstrap 5 plugin. Purchased the SFTP plugin.Ģ7% of the world wide web websites are based on Bootstrap according to:

Purchased a license for Sublime every time it was needed. I do support all plugin developers from plugins I always use by donating generously and contribute with testing and reporting bugs. There are people who have the time to develop plugins and I’m not one of them. They would have moved on to some other editor, in this case VS Code or something else.Open source is a very rewarding venture when it comes to knowledge and skill, but it is not financially sustainable on it’s own. When there is no incentive to maintain packages/plugins and people just want to see their pet peeves in the project without making some contributions/efforts in the form of support/donations/making PR’s/issue triaging/helping out, it becomes depressing. They are not robots cranking out features/bug fixes 24 * 7. Open source maintainers are humans after all.There could be several reason why people won’t update packages/plugins Reason? Nobody seems to be interested to create them! Package Control is a essential part of Sublime Text since the beginning I used it and plugins are updated according to the current versions of all frameworks I use till now.
