Sublime Text 2
Sublime Text 2 is a lightweight, highly customizable text editor designed for code, markup and prose. Released in 2011, it became popular with developers for its speed, minimal distraction interface, multiple selection feature, split editing panes, powerful search and replace, and extensive plugin ecosystem via Python. The app supported syntax highlighting for dozens of languages, project management, build system integration, and command palettes. While later succeeded by Sublime Text 3 and Sublime Text 4, Sublime Text 2 remains in use by developers who prefer its resource-light footprint or have legacy workflows built around it.

1 suggestionSublime Text 2 reached end-of-life in 2013 and has not received updates since that time. No native Apple Silicon build was ever released, and Sublime HQ (the vendor) has no intention of updating the version 2 line further — their active development has moved entirely to Sublime Text 3 and 4. The Intel-only Sublime Text 2 binary runs under Rosetta 2 today, but Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), so this app will stop launching on that release and any newer macOS version. You should migrate to Sublime Text 4, the current actively maintained release, which ships natively on Apple Silicon and is a free upgrade for existing users. Sublime Text 3 is also still receiving maintenance and includes native Apple Silicon support. Both retain Sublime Text 2's core editing experience while adding years of improvements, bug fixes and modern macOS integration. If you have customizations or packages specific to version 2, check that they are compatible with your target version before migrating — most popular packages have been updated, but some very old or abandoned extensions may not work.
