## Kitsmith's take

A long-running, deliberately non-Electron alternative to editors like VS Code — GPU-accelerated rendering, a rewritten context-aware auto-complete engine, and native Apple Silicon builds as of Sublime Text 4. It can be evaluated in full for as long as you like before buying; the license itself is a straight one-time purchase (three years of updates included, then an optional paid upgrade), not a subscription. Made by Sublime HQ Pty Ltd, a small Australia-based company also behind the Sublime Merge Git client.

## Features

- **GPU-accelerated UI:** Renders using the GPU on macOS, Windows, and Linux for a fluid interface at high resolutions.
- **Context-aware auto-complete:** Suggestions are generated from existing code in the project, with links to definitions.
- **Native Apple Silicon build:** Sublime Text 4 ships a native build for Apple Silicon Macs, alongside Intel support.
