I was at a g2g and everyone was coding in ST2. The social stigmatism of not using the new hotness is enough to get a lot of people to conform or be an obviously bad developer.
tl;dr Code editors have more mindshare than _actually getting stuff done_.
This same phenomenon is why I use a MacBook Pro (though admittedly, the MBP is peerless, unlike TEXT EDITORS).
i miss tipical alt+key combinations in windows whem i'm replacing or finding text strings

What do you mean? You can rename files/folders with sublime text 2. I myself started seriously using it a month back for some PHP dev (in before the hate) and I'm loving it. This editor is amazing.

I'm using Sublime Text 2 because it's obviously the new hotness in the valley. I was at a g2g and everyone was coding in ST2.

If anyone is like me, they try it out, decided it isn't ready for daily usage, and then forget about it. This replaces "Check for Updates" :-)
It's not really newsworthy though. I could see a release being posted to HN if it contained a huge new feature set but from what I can see this is just normal update ?

A text editor is "hotness" in the valley? And that makes it worth using? Please someone assure me that "the valley" culture isn't so arrogant and full of itself that one would really be judged for not giving (frankly) two shits about Sublime Text?

Just because people you dislike like it, is no reason to dismiss it entirely.

It's got nothing to do with "the valley" but it's the best text editor I've used on either Win/OSX platforms. Just because people you dislike like it, is no reason to dismiss it entirely.
I don't know how that could be taken from my post. The grandfather comment implied that I would be looked down upon if I didn't use the "hip" Sublime Text 2, which I find to be absurd. I couldn't care less if people want to use unix utilities, notepad, ultraedit, vim, emacs or Microsoft Word to edit their files, but looking down on others seems absurd.
Have been using Sublime for 4 months or so and really enjoying it. It strikes the perfect balance between having enough nice features and tools to make programmer happy and getting to much in your face (like many IDE's).
I like using it as a text editor but have had trouble getting it set up for Scala development. Other than getting syntax highlighting I have had trouble integrating it with an outside compiler and getting a few niceties like auto complete and highlighting errors on compile. I'm curious, what language do you code in using Sublime and what is your set up?
