Atom and VS Code listen to your .gitignore when showing a folder of files. Quick searches ignore those files as well. In Atom those folders&#x2F;files are still openable (the explorer pane thingy shows them as grayed out).<p>To get the same functionality in Sublime, AFAIK, you have to create a couple of project files first and add folders into it. Then, if you later make a new folder via the terminal you have to edit your project file to include it.<p>That&#x27;s been my biggest headache around Sublime vs. Atom. It&#x27;s the smallest thing but it&#x27;s like sand in my shoe.
