The new icon is better, but I still prefer this third party icon: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/tools-and-tips/sublime-tex...
There are a bunch of 3rd party icons that are all better than the new icon. I aggregated them last month: http://blog.jerodsanto.net/2012/01/sublime-text-2-icon-repla...

For the first time I am seriously considering whether to replace Emacs as my primary text editor on Linux. I've been compulsively using Emacs for the past 5 years. Thanks to Emacs I felt in love with (a dialect of) Lisp and experienced the freedom brought by a truly programmable text editor. An enlighting experience. About a couple of weeks ago I began using Sublime Text 2 and... wow, it gets so many things right and…
You're not alone. I've used Emacs for over a decade, but I fell in love with ST2 almost immediately. And although it may cost me some cred with diehard Emacs users: I'd much rather extend my editor with Python than elisp. Still, Emacs is my bus factor backup plan. I prefer ST2 today, but it's nice knowing there's a pretty darn excellent fallback if it disappears for some reason.
But it is OrgMode that makes it impossible to ditch Emacs.
I've been on the fence between vim, textmate, and sublime text 2...... liking st2 more and more, though not for any particular reason. It will be interesting to see what the community comes up with as it grows...... tons of room for awesome expansion as far as I can see. (needs more default syntax plugins)
As much as I think sublime is beautiful and rather useful, I think I'll have to stick with vim. I've invested too much time learning how to use it and configuring it to throw all that away, and besides, it's that effort that has made me so efficient in the environment. There is a "vintage" mode ( http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/vintage.html ) that supports some vi bindings, but until I can use vim proper from withi…
Additionally, I also use boatloads of plugins that I've come to rely on. Among the most important ones are Fugitive, syntastic, and gundo (seriously, branched undos have saved my life in the past, and visualizing them in a tree? Hell yes.) But there's also more basic ones, like surround, tagbar, and eclim (if I were a full-time Java dev, I'd need eclim.)
It's a chicken-and-egg problem, really. Vim is here, Vim is good, Vim is good enough. It's got its warts. VimL is the biggest.
And that birds-eye view in Sublime really does look sweet! I wonder how useful it is in day-to-day programming.
Why must he always put spaces in the filename?
Why shouldn't he? Are you using MS-DOS?
My main objective with Sublime is to master the keyboard shortcuts. Stuff like (on the PC) Ctrl+D to select the current word, and repeat for next occurrences. This starts up a multiple-selection that you can just type and all selected occurrences are replaced. I forked a GitHub Gist from others and tweaked it a bit, for reference to useful shortcuts: https://gist.github.com/1736542
