I thought I made a good investment when I purchased my ST 2/3 license some weeks ago.
I’d only tried it out on my mac doing some simple Python, and it looked awesome.
But then I started using it for other purposes. If I wanted a Python only editor / IDE I’d go for PyCharm.
I need some pretty basic functionality (imho) up and running on Linux and Windows or else I’ll give away my license and put an evil spell on the ST developer team.
I’m a Emacs user and I’m used to setting things up before it works, but in Emacs things actually do work!
This is the list of tasks I perform easily in Emacs, and if they’re not easy to solve in ST, I’ll gladly go back to Emacs, burning ST using a virtual flamethrower programmed in C++ in Emacs.
-
I need to be able to write code in C++ and Python WITH automatic code completion and the ability to specify a build system / toolchain to use for C++ without knowing the internals of JSON or anything else for that matter. The “code completion” I have now is awful (I’ve installed CodeIntel, + +) and is more annoying than usable. Also I need a Code Snippet system that works.
-
I need to be able to use relative paths for setting up projects so I can use the same projects on Windows/Mac/Linux via Dropbox
-
I need the god damned Open Terminal Here plugin to work. I need to be able to right click a folder / file or issue a command with a file open to launch a shell / terminal. Right now the options are “grayed out” in the menu.
Right now I HATE Sublime Text 2 & 3 and I really regret purchasing the license.
Please, if anyone could tell me how to set up my requirements, I’d be forever grateful.
