Jon (jskinner) has been doing a great job of continuous releases with a mix of new features and bug fixes. It is easily the best $60 I've ever spent on an editor or IDE. If you haven’t tried Sublime Text 2 before, I recommend taking it for a whirl. Most developers I've shown it to really like it. Here are some reasons it won me over: Multiple selections. Select a variable and then press Ctrl+d/Cmd+d a few times. Now…

I also like it so much I wish he would go meta and tell us about the initial (winning) choices he made for developing ST2.

I've moved from TextMate to Sublime Text 2 over the past few weeks. The only thing I miss from TM is the ability to jump back to the last opened file with command-t.

Has anyone managed to hack their config to enable that feature? I understand there are some callbacks available that might help, but I haven't figured out how to put them into action.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Please do buy it after you'll be convinced that this is the best editor you have ever used :)

Woops, only realized this now ... this should be under some other comment, don't know how this happened :\

Been there, done that, own the downvote.

Couple of features I wish ST2 had:

1) Ability to rename files and tell that to git/any revision control while it does it.

2) Bundler integration to automatically add all bundles to the project so they can be searched on.

Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab navigate through the "stack" of recently opened views (files). Is this what you mean?

Could not download update yet, but I still have a problem with the black tabs. If the tabs matched the project drawer... :)

One cool thing about ST2 is that is it fully theme-able. There is an alternate theme called Soda that has both a light and dark variant. You can grab it with git from https://github.com/buymeasoda/soda-theme or use the package manager I wrote http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control .

Wow; Package Control rocks! Want kind of package coverage percentage do you estimate? Great job...

If you do #1, you might as well throw in more commands. I can see why the author might not want to cascade in to that just yet.

I really wish that there was an auto-update. I've been using the beta for some time now, Jon's amazing constant updates actually becomes frustrating because you have download an installer every update. I would buy a license in an instant if this could be implemented.

+100000. Wow. Package control and Soda is awesome. Where have I been? I never really liked the dark tabs personally and this fixes it! This should be on ST's main page lol.

I wish it had code folding, and I wish I could do a block cursor instead of the | (easier to see) but I don't think those are hugely popular requests.
