I have been waiting for TM 2 for a long time. I think this is the real replacement.

#22Some of the posts here make me think I should seriously consider making the jump from TextMate to Sublime Text 2. Would anyone care to share some good reasons not to make the jump that I should consider?
You already paid for Textmate.

#23Does sublime text allow for a tree view of the directory you're working in? (similar to the way textmate does)
Yes. At least in Windows you can just drag a folder to the sidebar and it drops a tree view there.
I just downloaded the trial and it blew my mind all over the wall. I didn't think beautiful applications existed for windows.

#24I love this editor! Once it can open files over gvfs or similar I will definitely buy it!
gvfs should be working fine (I've used it to edit via sftp in the past, at least).
If you're not having any luck with it, it's worth posting on the forums or emailing support@sublimetext.com

#25You've done it. I'm ditching TextMate for Sublime. A couple things that are still bugging me, though:
-Syntax highlighting for Gemfile, Rakefile, etc (files without extensions).
-The selected file is only highlighted in the "Files" list, not in the directory view.
-Preferences are a little confusing - a better explanation in the comments of the various config files would fix this.
Now I'm going to go and buy it. Great work.

#26It's amazing the consistency of quality of experience between Mac and Windows. The cross-platform license is also fantastic. There will be those days where you, for some reason, arrive on a Windows box and having Sublime Text around will make your day substantially less painful.
It's great to have a consistent cross platform text editor. Nothing worse than firing up Parallels just to access a Windows-only text editor, or editing Windows code on the Mac side because you don't want to deal with VS's lack of speed.

The best part is that the user experience is consistent across all the platforms.

#28Why is the beta page still referring to 2076? I can't find a link to download 2091.

#29Sublime Text is awesome! Even though it's still in beta and missing lots of features, I still bought a license for it last week.
As a Mac user, text editors are a pain in the ass. When you're booted into OSX, you wish you had access to your Windows-only text editors. When you're booted into Windows, you wish you had access to your OSX-only text editors. Running Parallels just to edit text is over kill. ST solves this problem beautifully--on Linux as well!
The best part is that the license if PER USER instead of per machine, so you can install Sublime Text on all your different operating systems.
I also want to mention that the config files and plugins are written in Python. Yes, the config files are actually Python files. I haven't made a plugin yet, but the API looks great and simple to use.

What Windows text editor do you miss when on OS X?
