This is the first of three setup guides, one per editor worth your attention in 2026. The other two cover Sublime Text, the fast one you pay for, and Zed, the new one built by Atom's creators as an apology. We start with VS Code because, statistically, yo

The second of three setup guides. The first covered VS Code, the editor you're statistically already using; the third covers Zed, the new one from Atom's creators. This one covers the editor that outlived every obituary written for it.Sublime Text should,
