Now that Brackets.io is 1.0 and Atom is getting more mature, is Sublime Text really still relevant? It should go FOSS to stay competitive.
Sublime is a zillion times faster than Atom, and brackets isn't something that enters into the same league as either. I don't see how open-sourcing will help it.
I do not understand why people code on a dark background. I get the CRT retro aesthetic, but it is less readable on modern screens. Reflections on glossy displays become a problem. When was the last time you saw a website with a black background? I can't tell if people coding on dark backgrounds are hipsters, or just don't know any better.
I would greatly appreciate it if this made it into an Emacs theme, though a really good Emacs theme tends to be quite a bit more involved than a ST2 theme, since there's so much more to theme.

It's less tiresome for your eyes, eventually your eyes will demand you to use dark color schemes.
Would love this for Ultraedit && Notepad++. PEople would probably pay at least a dollar for this.
I've ported it to Iterm and Zsh ( https://github.com/wesbos/Cobalt2-iterm ) as well as Atom ( https://github.com/wesbos/Cobalt2-atom ). If anyone wants to port to another editor, I'd be happy to let you use the name.
