Though Sublime Text is not an IDE per se, many Python and JavaScript developers I know use it as “development platform”. The community edition is 100% open source. A P圜harm license costs 199 EUR / year (professional), 99 EUR / year (individual) and there is also free community edition. P圜harm shares most of the features with other IDEA family IDEs, which means it has robust HTML, JavaScript and CSS support. P圜harm is developed by the Czech company JetBrains, which has over 400 employees. First P圜harm was released 2010, but the IDE codebase goes all way back to IntelliJ IDEA which was released as far back as 2001 – I remember doing Java development on IntelliJ in 2004. P圜harm is a child of JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA family of editors. Unless you purchase a license you’ll be notified by a nagging dialog. Though its development slowed down at some point, as Sublime Text has been mostly a one man show, new Sublime Text builds roll out now regularly.
Currently Sublime Text version 3 is in beta. Its major selling points are speed, powerful code text editing features (multicursor), cross platform support, customizations and plugin ecosystem. Sublime Text is a commercial programmer’s text editor in development since 2008. But times change, hardware gets more powerful and it was time for me to reconsider my decision. I tried P圜harm long time ago and I was dissatisfied – P圜harm is built on Java software stack and UI issues, alongside “Java software bloat”, were a major turn off for me. A few weeks ago, I decided to make a shift from Sublime Text 3 to P圜harm as my primary tool for typing in code on OSX.
I have been developing Python for a decade now in various environments. This blog post is written from the perspective of professional software development or if programming is what you do for living. This blog post is about comparing two popular development tools and text editors, Sublime Text and P圜harm to each other.
