Jun 02, 2019 Sublime Text is a powerful text editor available for Linux, Windows and macOS that most widely used for web and software development.It is very fast and it comes with lots of powerful features out of the box. It supports many programming languages and markup languages, and its functionality can be extended by users with plugins.
As the sublime text 3 beta has been released and opened to the public I decided to upgrade to it. Turns out that most of the plugins I generally use are not ready to use yet and it has slowed me down. I wanted to uninstall it and resume using sublime text, but haven't find any method of doing so apart from the revert, which would just reset the version 3.
I am waiting on any suggestions.
EDITI forgot to add that my sublime text 2 was not uninstalled so they both run concurrently only now whenever I try to open sublime text 2 it is shut down automatically after few seconds.
