This is possible because active Sublime Text community provides tools to optimize your development workflow – namely to support autocomplete, syntax highlighting and background linting and various programming languages. Though Sublime Text is not an IDE per se, many Python and JavaScript developers I know use it as “development platform”. The community edition is 100% open source. P圜harm license costs 199 EUR / year (professional), 99 EUR / year (individual) and there is also free community edition. P圜harm shares most of the features with other IDEA family IDEs, which means it has robust HTML, JavaScript and CSS support. P圜harm is developed by Czech company JetBrains, having over 400 employees. First P圜harm was released 2010, but the IDE codebase goes all way back to IntelliJ IDEA which was released as far back as 2001 – I remember doing Java development on IntelliJ in 2004. P圜harm is a child of JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA family of editors. Unless you purchase a license you’ll be notified by a nagging dialog. Though the development slowed down in one point, as Sublime Text has been mostly one man show, new Sublime Text builds roll out now regularly. Currently Sublime Text version 3 is in beta. Its major selling points are speed, powerful code text editing features (multicursor), cross platform support, customizations and plugin ecosystem. Sublime Text is a commercial programmer’s text editor being in development since 2008. But the times change, hardware gets more powerful and it was time for me to reconsider my decision.

#Rubymine vs sublime software#
I tried P圜harm long time ago and I was dissatisfied – P圜harm is built on Java software stack and UI issues, alongside “Java software bloat”, were major turn off for me by the time. Few weeks ago, I decided to make a shift from Sublime Text 3 to P圜harm as my primary tool for typing in code on OSX. I have been developing Python for a decade now in various environments.
