So after debating between Sublime Text 2, TextMate and Espresso I decided to give Sublime a try. A month ago I decided to have another every-so-often “Let me check if someone released something better?” and started finding a very huge amount of coders commenting about other code editors, a lot of these had very active communities too. A few years ago I purchased Coda and after a while I had to go back to Dreamweaver’s features I couldn’t live without like a fully featured and integrated SFTP server, as-you-code typo correction, Regular Expression Find & Replace and some more. Since then I just went back to my old loved Dreamweaver and that would be it. In one of my former jobs they all coded with jEdit and it was a powerful software yet the fact of being run as a Java app wasn’t something I liked, it felt a tiny bit laggy and irresponsive. It would mean a learning curve to getting used to the new editor which could take some time, something that we don’t usually have. And after using it for years I didn’t really feel like leaving my comfort zone, it was a hard decision because a code editor is something developers use 8 hours a day. There are many programmers like me who started learning how to code websites in Macromedia Dreamweaver or even HomeSite, not for any special reason but by that time (more than 10 years ago) it was simply the most popular decent editor you could find that had a complete set of features. In this article I am going to walk you through what this editor is and how to set it up quickly.

Sublime Text 2 is the best code editor that exists right now and I’ll show you why.
