Below i'll demonstrate how you can fully customize Sublime Text by only using one package from github with your own fonts.

1. Installing 320+ themes
2. How to use custom fonts in Sublime Text

(the location of sublime text config may vary on your distro)

How to use custom fonts with Sublime Text
This is really easy, go to Preferences > Settings

And add

"font_face": "your_font",

inbetween the json brackets like so:

Save, and you are finished.

Note that the font will change immediately upon saving your settings (CTRL+S), if you don't notice a change you either have the name of your font wrong or it cannot be used.

Using Sublime in 2018

Sublime is probably the most lightweight code editor next to NP++. It's very hackable too as seen in this tutorial. Honestly Sublime is a great median between a full on IDE and a basic text editor. Really offering the best of both worlds.

 

[treebeard]

I don't use either but I suppose it's all preference ;P

 

[Kristo]

I personally think that sublime is a great program but like you said. It's personal preference

It really boils down to what language you're using. I'm pretty sure treebeard uses C++ and Java, so Sublime text is nearly useless.

Well I can understand that. I mean I use C++ and Java from time to time but I tend to vary so sublime text comes in handy. I am not saying I use it all the time though.
