Earlier quoted context omitted.

Supports all the languages Komodo Editor supports for Code Intelligence (CIX, CodeIntel2): PHP, Python, RHTML, JavaScript, Smarty, Mason, Node.js, XBL, Tcl, HTML, HTML5, TemplateToolkit, XUL, Django, Perl, Ruby, Python3. Where's C? Where's C++? Where's Java? That's disappointing.

For the first two you want to look at https://github.com/quarnster/SublimeClang

which, as the 'clang' bit suggests, works pretty well. libclang and Sublime both having a Python API is extremely cool.

I've paid for Sublime Text and think it's awesome. I primarily do Scala development and would like to use ST for it but the one thing I miss are highlighting errors in the source. Does anyone know a way to do this? I searched the ST forums to no avail.

While this plugin doesn't have Scala by default, it does include a Java linter/checker. So you could theoretically fork and expand it to do Scala as well.

Has the ability to navigate via UNC been added? Or more importantly, has search/replace with regular expressions improved?

I did a search/replace of [a-z] to 0 in a 50 meg text file before as a comparison between Sublime Text 2, UltraEdit, and gVim. UltraEdit was slower than I would have liked, gVim was < 10 seconds, and Sublime crashed. That's a deal breaker.

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.

I agree; it's cool. TextMate never impressed me too much, but I bought it one day when the author casually mentioned on MacSB that his order numbers were simply sequential (so order number X meant that X licenses had been sold). I was curious.

My order number was something around 5000. So Odgaard had grossed $.25MM already. (At some point a couple years later I bought it again, and the order number was like 48000. It's no wonder he disappeared for years on end.)

ST2 seems to be on that same trajectory.

(And the grandparent comment is idiotic, of course; a truly good text editor repeatedly makes the news here just as a uniquely novel hammer would undoubtedly be a prominent theme on carpenternews.com.)

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. Aut…

Just curious, why are you using Windows for iPhone development ? I mean there is any advantage versus using directly your Mac ?

Thanks.

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.

I just use Transmit to mount remote file systems. Works like a charm.

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 m…

ST2 allow you to do it within the same file, but not outside of the file.

Is this just me but no-one seem to talk about it. How can I get the Sidebar to have a similar color scheme with my main theme? I like the default Monokai but the Sidebar is light. The Soda theme & Color Scheme was nice but the new UI improvement in the IDE is so good to sacrifice it for Soda.

Is this controlled by the color scheme itself? I'm running Solarized Dark, and the sidebar does have the same scheme as the editing window.

Yes, this is part of the Color Scheme that you used.
