Hey Andrew,

Great article! 👏 I've been using sublime for a few years now and I really love it. Here are my user settings:

{
    "always_show_minimap_viewport": true,
    "bold_folder_labels": true,
    "color_scheme": "Packages/Material Theme/schemes/Material-Theme.tmTheme",
    "font_face": "Source Code Pro Light",
    "font_size": 15,
    "ignored_packages":
    [
        "Vintage"
    ],
    "indent_guide_options":
    [
        "draw_normal",
        "draw_active"
    ],
    "line_padding_bottom": 5,
    "line_padding_top": 5,
    "overlay_scroll_bars": "enabled",
    "theme": "Material-Theme-Darker.sublime-theme",
    "translate_tabs_to_spaces": true,
    "tab_size": 4,
    "word_wrap": "false"
}

I really love the Material Theme in combination with the Source Code Pro Light font. Also, here are a few more packages I can recommend:

Definitely will check out the DotEnv extensions. Thanks for sharing your setup!

Other than the age old tabs v spaces, which I can not get myself to change to stop using tabs, very good article :D

One very useful plugin I find helpful is "Function Name Display" - when in middle of class/function, it'll display the method name in status bar, so you don't have to scroll up on longer functions to see what part of the code you're modifying.

It is amazing text editor. If only he had a debugger like VScode and refactoring like PHPStorm than nothing else is needed at all. I have used PHPStorm (undoubtedly cool for a large team work), VScode -he is just good no more, and none of them does not bring such pleasure as SublimeText_3!!! It is Awesome!!!
