Sublime Text is een uitgebreide teksteditor die vooral programmeurs zal aanspreken. Onder de lange lijst mogelijkheden treffen we onder andere een minimap aan, de mogelijkheid om verschillende secties in een tekst te selecteren, die dan tegelijk bewerkt kunnen worden, syntax-highlighting met ondersteuning voor meer dan veertig talen, en de mogelijkheid om van macro's en op Python gebaseerde plug-ins gebruik te gemaken. Sublime Text is beschikbaar voor Windows, Linux en OS X. Een licentie kost 70 dollar en is per gebruiker, niet per machine. Op dit moment is versie 3.0 in ontwikkeling en zijn we inmiddels bij build 3103 aanbeland. De changelog voor deze uitgave ziet er als volgt uit:
