I am a new user to ST. I was stunned when I tried to print and couldn’t easily do so. Why WOULDN’T such a fundamental function be included? I’ve read some of the comments saying "I’ve been a {DBA/ web developer / whatever} for X years / decades / millennia… and I never need to print… or hardly ever… and then the comments saying how desperately print capability is needed. Where is the logic being applied here? If you’re a ST user that never prints, mazel tov! But if you need to print, you should be able to. Printing is NOT an “after thought” or “not a high priority”. What’s the harm in it being there if you don’t want to use it?
I think ST may be missing a fair share of market if they think the product is only used by coders / scripters. Those syntax / context sensitive aware capabilities are great. But there are folks that need just a raw text editor that can do global text editing across files or projects.
The value is there (increasing the perceived “bang for the buck” of a $70 editor. I WILL buy it if it could ever print. But consider… there are very capable & stable editors out there already - be it UltraEdit or EditPad Pro that DO print - right now, “as is” that don’t cost what ST does. Last time I checked, for instance, EditPad Pro was like $40 or so. Don’t get me wrong… I LIKE Sublime Text… Ok, I really like it, and had thought I would embrace it as my new default text editor. That’s not to be if it can’t print. I just won’t love it until it can print like essentially every other app I use can. I shouldn’t have to use Sublime Text to edit and then (but CAN if I NEED to) DreamWeaver, Word or Notepad to print. I’ll start with the app that can “do it all” - even if only moderately well instead of an awesome but limited text editor.
Just my 2¢… YAMMV! I hope Sublime Text can print soon. I look forward to becoming a registered user at that time.
