Sublime Text 3 Package Control and Plugins Setup

Sublime Text 3 Package Control and Plugins Setup

Sublime text 3 is a simple and very effective text editor compared to Adobe dream weaver or notepad++, so I recommended using Sublime text editor. In this editor, I never face any kind of lagging and frizzing problem and the main advantage of this editor is- it has too many plugins with a package controller. So try it. It is also available for 30 days trial version.
