Turning Sublime Text into a Lightweight Python IDE
Maybe I'm the exception, but I can't see why people, why <i>programmers</i>, bother investing their editing-skills in a closed-source editor and toolkit.<p>Sublime is closed source. When it croaks up and dies, all the skills you've built up will be wasted, and you'll have to rebuild them elsewhere.<p>Why not invest in something open instead? There's more options than ever before, and they're all good.<p>For me, VS Code seems to provide pretty decent Python IDE capabilities almost out of the box.<p>For those a little more deeply invested, Emacs with elpy and realgud gives me all I need: code-completion, docs, debugging, breakpoints, etc. And it's something I as a programmer can adapt to my needs and build on.<p>Sublime? None of that. So what's the appeal?
