Can it be used without purchasing it like in the RC versions?
Yes, but if you appreciate the work of the author you should buy a license after you try the editor.

#12I was an active user of Notepad++, but ever since I started using Sublime text, I never turned back to NP++ (or any other editors). Totally love the Sublime experience.

#13I've reverted back to Vim (not really ST2's fault, just that it doesn't run in a terminal and I've gotten addicted to split-panes in iTerm), but ST2's a solid editor. Definitely worth your $60. PS: If it got even a basic terminal... EDIT2: ST2 does have split panes, I just can't run a terminal in them.
I suppose you know that you split the layout of ST just like you can split the pane in iTerm2 ... You can even have the same file open twice in a side by side view.

#14This is one of the best programming editors I've ever used. I like the idea of using same editor (and interface) on Mac, Windows and Linux.

#15Now that it's official, I hope that the documentation gets the attention it needs. Congrats!

Right, but that's only for files. My extra panes tend to have REPLs, curls, docs, etc. more often than other files.

You can init Sublime (and open/edit files) from the command line relatively easily[1] and there's a plugin that will allow you run shell commands from within Sublime Text[2].

EDIT: Ahh I see you edited, nevermind! But you can split the windows easily too!

I've even bought it, then went back to Vim. It looked so promising and I still think it's second best editor around.
EDIT: There can be only one!

#19My go-to editor all grown up. Feel a tear coming.
Re: Sublime Text 2.0 Released
#20As a die-hard Vim'er I like this more every time I look at it.
What I'm still missing in vintage-mode is search/replace (mostly ':s' and ':%s') and block visual mode (^V in vim). The latter habit I could probably break, but the search/replace stuff gets me all the time.
Is there perhaps a plugin/workaround already to get Vim-style search/replace or do I have to hold out for another version?
