Sublime is extraordinary. It's one of the softwares I've loved the most, by far. Even today, it's always opened and I use it for quick fixes and code browsing.
However, despite my fondness for it, VS Code, and now Cursor, have largely taken over for me. Cursor, in particular, has literally completely transformed how I code. And yes, it's slower and more bloated, but the value-added of Cursor is worse it.
Bloated compared to sublime, yes. But VScode is absolutely lightweight compared to something like eclipse or one of those other heavyweight enterprise Java IDE’s.
Cursor is lightweight but have you ever seen the amount of memory that thing seems to consume? Holy mother of silicone.
I completely agree. It takes a lot of resources. Again - it's all about the value it gives in return of what it takes. For me, it's worth it. For many others, it's not.
