It is good, it helps me to develop applications quickly , by focusing on the business logic rather than the user interfaces.
The TagHelper support and the controls.
Bugs, of course. The rich text editor is not up to the mark.

I'm overall satisfied with the product. I'm also happy with the customer service that I receive on the product.
There are are quite a few OCR products out there that take a PDF or image input and extract the text. However, we were particularly interested in getting a PDF output with embedded text so that our users can view the document in its original form but at the same time, search through the document, as well. SyncFusion's OCR Processor, did just that.
We ran into issues with certain PDFs and as a software engineer, I had to work around those problems by first converting my input PDFs to TIFF images, stitch them back together again as a single PDF and then run the OCR functionality over it. It would be nice if SyncFusion's OCR processor did that out of the box so that I didn't have to write those workarounds.

I beleive in order to deliver a viable web application on a budget a development toolset is a must and thus far Syncfusion has exceeded our expectations.
After years as an IT Manager, I'm playing an active role in Web App Development, specifically the .net 6.0 Blazor framework and have been thrilled with Syncfusion's Blazor Controls. We are approx. 6 months into developing an application with a target Feb 2022 release and their controls and support have significantly accelerated our development efforts. Thus far we have implemented Datagrid, Multi-select, Dropdown, File Upload, Accordion, and Rich Text Editor. To meet our requirements, both the Multi-select and File Upload had to be integrated into the edit mode of the Datagrid and bound to Azure SQL which was accomplished. They also have a robust KB which assisted us when we decided to implement Dapper ORM.
We experienced a few anomalies with the Rich Text Editor specifically a page scrolling issue that we brought to support’s attention and are working on a fix now.

Overall it's a great product. It does everything Telerik Kendo does but is cheaper and therefore a better value.
The Syncfusion Grid component is as good or better than any other on the market. It has every feature you could want: paging, sorting, filtering, sizing and reordering columns, exporting to PDF, CSV, or Excel. And they have just about every other rich web component you think of: Calendar, sortable list, embedded rich text/HTML editor, charts, maps, you name it. And best of all, their free community license includes ASP.Net MVC so you can develop rich MVC web UI applications. And also includes Xam
Although they have extensive documentation, they so many components that do so many things, that not every feature has specific programming examples, so you sometimes have to figure things out through trail and error. And although the MVC components all have tons of methods and parameters you sometimes have to write JavaScript to make it work the way you want. So you need to be a strong programmer.

This was the best code editor for a long time, but they could not keep up with the new players like Visual Studio Code or Atom. Nowadays, Visual Studio Code is better in pretty much every way.
There is a free version, although it is a bit annoying.
Completely replaced by Visual Studio Code.

Essendo studente universitario, ho potuto provare per un bel po' di tempo questo software e la mia esperienza è abbastanza positiva. Di facile installazione sia su Ubuntu che su Windows, è un ottimo software dove programmare in tranquillità. Ottimi contrasti di colori dello schermo. Consigliato.
Semplicità di installazione, poco peso in RAM, molto leggero, ottimi colori.
Meno personalizzabile di Visual Studio Code

Sublime Text is a great option to those who are adverse to using software from Microsoft. Otherwise, you're likely better off using Visual Studio Code at this point.
Sublime Text came around before Visual Studio Code, and has a lot of powerful editing features, as well as an extensive extension framework that allows for many different uses.
Sublime Text has a "Pay for Version" payment system, where you pay for a specific version of it. I used Sublime Text until Visual Studio Code came around. Visual Studio Code has everything that Sublime has and more, and it's free, so I ultimately switched to that.

Sublime text is powerful and lightweight. The best thing about it is its portability.
Sublime text is portable and I can use it on many of the platforms.It also gives a good interface for code editing. I like it most because of its lightweight.
Code completion is not at its best and no good console version is available when compared with visual studio code.

Sublime has been a great way to work in a light weight environment without having to worry too much about setup and functionality.
Sublime has been a great tool for almost any language I have been working with. I've used it for languages like C#, C++, D, and even ML. There are so many plugins widely available that help support many of these languages and also even sometimes a compiler. Sublime is the definition of light weight and helps you stay focused on the important part, the code.
Sublime is obviously being forced to compete with Visual Studio Code right now but is still doing a great job.

Sublime is one of the top text editors we use including Visual Studio Code and Atom.
In terms of performance sublime is one of the fastest no lags what so ever, great for low spec PCs.
Not too many features available.So far has been my favorite editor even though the functionalities are limited compare to other editors. Gets the job done!

I love the UI and ability for the text editor to adapt and autodetect languages. In addition, the ability to easily install packages is incredible and has changed my coding experience. Previously, I was a VI user but I have transitioned to using Sublime full time.
Sublime needs to add more functionalities to compete with rising competitor Microsoft Visual Studio, which offers a plethora of additional services.

I used it for about 1.5 years but when I became more professional I needed to change for more powerful editors and today I use Visual Studio Code.
It has a good interface, easy to set your own preferences and add packages.
It has a vast diversity of packages but it can't compete with more professional and free editors like Visual Studio Code.

I'm primarily a web developer, working in back-end languages like PHP and Python. I know there are IDEs out there for both, and for some jobs and other languages, I use them, but I like Sublime for being so incredibly light weight, fast, extendable with plugins, and consistently stable. The updates are far and few between, but I consider that a good thing. Why add a bunch of nice-to-haves when I don't have to worry about whether or not a feature will even work that I REALLY need?
Sublime is a lot like GitHub's Atom in that it's meant to be barebones and extended with plugins. Because of that, there are a lot of plugins that have been abandoned, never really worked, or don't exist for things that in other text editors or IDEs exist. I routinely have to open Visual Studio Code to double-check things related to my differences with my SVN repository, and the Visual Studio Intellisense is just really nice having also come from a C# background in standard Visual Studio.

Sublime Text is a great editor but today it lags behind Visual Studio Code which is completely free.
Sublime Text is an excellent text editor which includes syntax highlighting for multiple programming languages, an intuitive set of keyboard shortcuts, multi-cursor support, multi-tab support, and a rich ecosystem of add-on packages. It also runs on multiple-platforms.
The product can be freely evaluated but it will occasionally nag you to buy a license which is relatively expensive. The core product is not open-source. Although this is not inherently bad, it does mean that it evolves at a much slower pace than competing open-source products and does not have as many features.

My overall experience with Sublime Text has been positive.
What I appreciate most about Sublime Text is its elegant simplicity.
One aspect I'm less fond in the Sublime Text is its lack of certain features present in other software like Visual Studio Code.

Great performance, fast, and highly customizable text editor.
The best text editor. I use it when I need to open huge text documents. The performance is excellent. It has a great plugin system. You split the view into multiple columns/rows/tabs. The multi-cursor is great and there is a shortcut for every action. Highly customizable.
There is nothing critical that I don't like. The only thing that could be better is plugin repositories UI integration like in Visual Studio Code.

I have used Sublime Text in majority of my development career. It set standard for text editor/ development tools. I have been enjoying sublime text editor. But many new functionalities and overall feel of visual studio code made me to migrate to Visual studio code. But still Sublime Text editor is my #2 development tool right now.
* Cross Platform * Good selection of extensions * Good customization support * Despite being text editor, it has some advantages over full fledged IDEs * Monokai design (best minimalist design)
* There were no major updates or upgrades recently * Lack of remote tools * Overall feels dated * Lost in many features to competitors

Overall, Sublime Text is a great simplistic editor. However, once I switched to Visual Studio Code, I have never looked back.
I like that it is simple and lightweight especially. I mainly look for my code editor to be fast and responsive with the necessary features, but not necessarily bloated. Sublime Text checks all of these boxes by allowing one to get started quickly, but still have a lot of configuration options and packages that can be installed to add functionality.
Over time, it became a pain to maintain my configuration and the packages. I would find that some of the more complicated (but useful) functionalities I had added would end up breaking, and I'd have to fix the configuration. It seemed like there were too many moving parts to work smoothly.

Free version is very useful if you run out of other options for text editors in the market. Even though sublime text comes with few unique features compared to other similar products, I'm not interested in 'paying' a huge some for those features, instead I would rather go with a similar opensource product in the market.
Easy management of folders. Ability to use multiple cursor points. (very helpful when renaming words). Ability to find all occurrences of the same word. Powerful GOTO feature lists down all recent files and view files by peeking. GoTo feature also lets the user find any character sequence that the user searches inside a file.
It doesn't support debugging feature. High price compared to other open source products like visual studio code (with much more features) Not a fan of it's interface.

* Simplicity : The editor is simple and causes less distraction. * Go to anything feature to directly jump to any line, words etc * Multi selection for modifying the values. * APIs and extensions are available to enhance the editor further. * Available in all platforms.
* Pricey : When free open source editors like visual studio code is present, it makes you question if you need to spend money for a simple text editor.

I totally recommend using Sublime text for beginner programmers or for handling small scale projects.
It's a very light weight software I use quite often for general purpose coding and for organizing my code. The best advantage is it's free to use.
It's between a notepad and an intelligent IDE. For more professional programming experience I generally switch to other IDEs such as Visual Studio Code or PyCharm etc.
