Earlier quoted context omitted.

That's such an edge case. I've never seen anybody defining functions in evals, especially as concatenated strings.

Maybe you should take a look at the Rails sourcecode.

Rails only does that to optimize certain function calls. eval() is used as a method to compile/inline certain functions. Most code in Rails does not use eval.

I don't want to put the looks over functionality but when we are talking for a GUI application we need a good icon.

There are some good replacements floating around the web. The one I think best matches the aesthetic of Sublime Text 2 is here: http://dribbble.com/shots/337996-Sublime-Text-2-Icon

New release looks great. One problem I have with ST2 is dragging tabs from one window to another window. The actual dragging of the tab works but if it's the last tab in the window and I remove it and put in another window, I'm left with a window with no tabs in it. Can this "empty" window automatically close please?

"close_windows_when_empty": true,

I've recently started using Sublime Text 2 for iPhone development on Windows. Okay I admit, I've been doing it for a while. Rather strange setup perhaps, but with Synergy it's a fairly seamless workflow between my Macbook Pro and Windows desktop. I keep telling myself I'll get around to purchasing a license and this finally did it for me. I wouldn't say it's purely on guilt, more of a slowly growing relationship. Auto complete is an enormous help, why wouldn't I return the favor?

My favorite feature (already added in an earlier development release, but now finally in the beta track): On OSX, if you are editing a file you don't have write access to and you want to save it, Sublime now asks for authentication than then saves the file. This is very convenient and not having this was the reason for still having TextMate around.

That's one annoyance out of the way. Is there a decent way to work with remote files yet?

This is always the killer for me.

How do people deal with remote files? I love Sublime, but always end up reverting back to VIM as it is so slow when accessing files over a network connection.

I've tried the SFTP plug-in, but find it really clumsy. Ideally I'd just love to be able to add a remote folder over SFTP the same way you do local ones.

Try this out: http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/sftp I haven't used it, but I'll probably end up taking a look at it soon. Please report back if you end up using it.

Copy the files to your computer, make the changes, and copy them back?

Only at HN will you find people gushing about a $50 text editor. It's totally pathetic yet oddly endearing at the same time.

Actually, what's endearing (or outright cool) is that he has been able to create an editor good enough that people are willing to pay $50 for it. With lots of free alternatives and big players it isn't the easiest niche to break into. The fact that he's been able to do this primarily on his own makes it more impressive.
