That will teach it to show off on my screen I thought. This simply won’t do! So I let Nova 1.0 languish in my Application folder for months. The splendor of Nova is a little unsettling at first I don’t want to create a scandal here.Īnd here was Nova, waltzing around my screen like some kind of 70s pimp with it’s neon colour schemes, quirky animations, glowing text and unadulterated sense of fun and visual splendour.

I’ve never been in the bedroom of the Dalai Lama. Like the coding equivalent of the Dalai Lama’s bedroom. I was used to my editor looking dark, serious and spartan. Despite there seeming to be a few basic essentials it couldn’t do, it just, visually, felt too blingy. When Nova first came out in September of 2020, I took a brief and instantly dismissed it. To use an analogy: sure you can drive to work in a Ford, but Apps like Espresso and Coda felt like driving to work in a … (insert your own aspirational car here).Īnd that brings me, finally, to Panic’s Nova. It just put a little joy into using such utilitarian software. It made the whole experience feel different. It showed an app can have some kind of soul. The start screen of Espresso was a thing of beauty

Have you forgotten how great Mac apps can look?Īs a long time Mac user, I occasionally get nostalgic for when Mac apps used to take you back by how, just ‘great’ they looked. OK, I know some of you will have opinions here so stick them in the comments but for now, let’s move on. But just don’t be under any doubt you are ‘paying’ for it in some way. You are just paying for it with your data and usage. Oh, just one more little point you are still ‘paying’ for VS Code. I’m merely explaining why, when nearly everyone else is using VS Code, I am not. Now, this isn’t going to be about me ragging on VS Code.

Heck, I was on of the few people that liked the Windows phone UI, but if you are on a Mac it just feels a little off. Now there is nothing inherently wrong with a ‘Windows’ feel. This is most obvious when you switch to a new file, when there’s a horrid FOUC, just before the syntax highlighting kicks in. And it feels slow to navigate the interface. Yes, it has (almost) every feature you could possibly want.

VS Code feels slowĭespite the near complete domination of VS Code in the hearts and minds of developers as I write this, I just can’t stick with it. And why I always come back to Sublime Text. Generally, the length of time I stuck with an editor was directly proportional to the speed, or perceived speed, of the interface.Īnd that brings me to the blue elephant in the room. Through all that, the value I have appreciated beyond all else is speed.

Plus brief looks at things like Atom and Brackets and no doubt some others I’ve forgotten about. Here’s a non-exhaustive list of editors I have used for some period of time: I’ve been using a text editors daily for a long time. But I’ve also used text editors to write books, articles and even screenplays. I spend the majority of my working life in a text editor so seeing how a product solves the same problems I understand well is fascinating to me. I’m a sucker for spending time with new code editors. Want to watch the YouTube version? My text editor history It just always feels instant.īut right now, if you took Sublime away from me, and made me pick another editor, it would be Panic’s Nova. ‘Pound for pound’, in my book, when it comes to text editors, nothing beats Sublime Text for the feeling of speed.
