Good. Sublime is a good editor. To be honest its my favorite. I've used Atom its alright. NP++ sucks imo. nano or vim prob for terminal, never messed with emacs. Nothing against it, just haven't used it.
But then again what do you expect them to use, Notepad?

Sorry for this late reply.
I appreciate that sublime is so simple; it's incredibly easy to use the keybinds and configs, it looks great with Soda, or a nice dark theme for night coding etc. I would have to break my own arms if I has to code and entire project without using the vim file tree or sublime file tree. I really love its package system and low memory usage even when using 70 tabs open at once.

I've used a couple of editors but sublime is the best of all

Surprised nobody has raised this point yet-
Businesses use Windows XP, outdated Java Applets, etc
The government uses insecure modes of practically every utility (hell the nuke code was what, 12345 ??)
Just because a well-known source uses something, doesn't mean it's good. Personally I don't mind sublime, but I do like npp nano. and vim/vi

Sublime isn’t that bad, but I see what you mean you’d think the CIA would have their own or smth. I use notebook++ of course.

I just think that it's a solid lead on a more secure program for editing code and fuzzing and whatever it is you would do with it at the various acronyms. It's not definitive, by any means, but it is an indication that if it's popular for <them>, then it must be every bit as secure as their other programs. I just always assumed it was notepad, tbh. But that's a stretch.

Though if you're going to use anything GUI-based it should be Atom. It's not super memory-efficient because it uses Electron, but it's super customizable right out of the box; has a great, rich, easy-to-use, and well-documented API; and has direct integration with NPM and Git.
agreed. Why did people stop using Vi? It's incredibly lightweight, designed for writing code, very powerful, and easy to use (when compared to its competitor editors)...

I technically and more often than not use vim. Actually, I like having a tmux session with 15+ vim and 10+ windows for monitoring, contrary to what people might think; that it's somehow too much at once (like when they see me with a project open for GitHub, 3 different IRC pages, etc.)

I do the same thing, albeit I use screen rather than tmux but the're similar enough in function. It's really the only IDE you need

The CIA also sells guns to terrorists. So there's that.
