What is enshittification?

The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source

The lifecycle of Big Internet

We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.

Embrace, extend and extinguish

We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.

In my opinion, Sublime Text is a little bit better for coding based applications, specifically with like HTML and CSS, even though Notepad++ is great for it too, but just for overall drag and drop replace, works with everything, wonderful, free and open source software, it is very, very difficult to beat Notepad++.

Price wise sublime text isn't that great unless you are coding with it.

Fair, I just don't like how cluttered Notepad++ feels.

I've never heard of notepad++ being referred to as cluttered before. It's fairly spartan in my opinion.

Cluttered compared to Notepad or Sublime Text.

Some people would call that "functionality".

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sublime Text has all that functionality and more without stealing precious screen space from your valuable text.

Never used Sublime Text but just from the screenshots on their site looks like the only real difference is the menu bars? Do you have to reference the documentation to look up keyboard shortcuts on all the stuff you don't do often?

No, it's not vi.
