Incomplete Features, Limited Plugin Ecosystem,Lime Text might have been less stable than more mature text editors. Users may have experienced crashes or unexpected behavior, especially when using experimental or less-tested features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As this software is based on Sublime text the interface is very familiar (if you have previously used Sublime). This makes transitioning a lot easier.

The editor has all the various features you would expect from a decent editor and also provides the ability to use Sublime text 3 packages - Again this helps with migrating, you can use the same modules you currently rely on. The other great features are CLI access, QML, multi-platform and Opensource (you can modify the editor to suit your own requirements if you are competent in GO).

The only negative is that the software is provided as source-code only, you need to build the software from this which requires a little more knowledge and also other software to compile.

This would be greatly improved and pickup more traction if builds were also released for the most popular platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing I like about lime is that it is open source software that means I can also contribute to its developers. Also the user interface is clean in it and supports good amount of plugins to make working with it easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since it is not much popular as compared to other text editors, it is not much optimised. Also there is lack of some features like multiple cursor selection which makes it less suitable for development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used Lime text as an alternative for Sublime Text. It was a good Open source project.

Unfortunately, it has been discontinued. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Basic coding in c/c++ ,Java will be helpfull as it's arranges line effeciently and looks good and also in text writing and editing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much good for OOPs based coding as well as large texts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it is a free open source software , so i can trust and modify it anytime i want it to. I have created various custom mini plugin for my work-envirement, who help me in my day to day job Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is bit buggy software and need more people as maintainers and contributers. Only then we can have awesome theme and plugin base. Installation istructions are not very clear. It requires sometime to install and than its all fine Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lime Text is an open source text editor, this makes the community on the Internet active in the development of applications to integrate into this software. In addition, there is continuous improvement in terms of performance, design and usability.

Is compatible with many programming languages, it is a very versatile software in this aspect. The plugins that are currently available make it much easier to write the code for the various tools they bring. It works great to write code, it is undoubted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The project is progressing very slowly, I think the community interested in Lime Text is very little. There are people who are continually making improvements, but they are not enough. There has not been a good job making this software known outside a very specific niche.

There are some errors in the operation of the application: it stays frozen or the interface flips for a few seconds, it is very strange. I don't know if it's something from my PC, but nothing similar has ever happened to me with any other software. Maybe it's some compatibility. Is not a stable software yet.

Is very complicated to install. For new developers I think it is an almost impossible task. This causes interest to decrease further. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lime text is a open source , free to use unlike sublime text . It is very useful , powerful , clean . It has a sleek and power User Interface as compared to sublime text . It is very light weight by default . It also removes every UI element so that you can focus on code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have to build lime from source , which may be out of many people's skill level . As it is an open source still many bugs are not yet solved . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its open source so it comes at a cost that is cheap and yet has a community built , that focuses on its maintenance and development . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is faster than atom but it is definitely slower than sublime . Recently , its development has slowed down and sublime has started the development at faster rate . We developers need open source software more ! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about this is that it is free to use. It has a very good user interface when compared to sublime text. The color choosing for various languages is pretty good and distinguishable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

we will feel little buggy while using this. little bit improvements and this will be the best. if these problems are solved then this will be the best among the competitiors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
