For those wondering, auto-complete is quite fast.

I've always avoided IDEs that offered this because they seemed to be terribly slow -- pleasantly surprised so far.

There are Sublime Packages that do, but I don't think it's built-in support.

This is such a great editor. Each update adds things I really appreciate. (How did I ever live without indent guides?)

I've been working in XCode so much lately that I've gotten really used to this style of autocomplete, so this update is very welcome.

Yes—indent guides are pretty sweet.

I love the new look of the tabs, really nice improvement. Great to see autocomplete is built in now, I was using this one before: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3064171

The new autocomplete even has lorem ipsum in it :)

What I really miss in all these fast small editors is the quick-jump features that actually analyze the code and let me do things like

1) Jump the the function/method definition (even if it's in a different file) when I press Ctrl and click on the function name. Eclipse does this.

2) Quick find of the function/method definition across the whole project. Eclipse does this as well (Ctrl + R).

I don't use Eclipse that much, because it's ridiculously slow, but it has cool features.

I really wish Emacs had smooth scrolling, indent guides and that Minimap. Those are some killer features that you can't just implement in Emacs' scripting language.

edit: minimap exists! (Obviously only in GUI Emacs)

Animated sub-line scrolling probably requires hacking the Emacs source. Indent guides might be possible just in elisp, but I don't know how good they would look.

No doubt Sublime has all kinds of nice features, but to me the best thing is the aesthetics. It's simply a pleasure to work in this editor. Sometimes I just like to have it sit there on the second monitor, while I do something entirely different on the first one. :)
