Sublime Text is really awesome! It's remarkable work, especially since there is just one developer working on it: ST2 works very well on all 3 platforms, it's very fast and has a lot of cool features. :)

I just hope that it keeps getting new features, the thing I'm really really missing is a terminal that runs in a ST2 tab.

I'm an avid user of Sublime Text 2, and I was really hoping that they would clean up their API before they made a stable release: http://sublimetext.userecho.com/topic/112486-api-better-use-... http://sublimetext.userecho.com/topic/112485-api-better-use-...

With the need to maintain backwards compatibility with a stable version 2.0, that's not going to happen now. :(

As 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?

Maybe take a look at VintageEx: https://github.com/SublimeText/VintageEx I'm not sure if search/replace is included but if not you could open an issue and maybe someone adds it. :)

This is great news. Truly staggering amount of effort for a small gap in build numbers (if you were using the last beta). Love the release and the editor. Worth every penny.

The only additional package I use is the Dark Soda Theme, is there any others that people would recommend for Rails development? The default editor seems to provide a lot. I tried SublimeCodeIntel but it kept crashing.

I'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.

For anyone wondering, ST2 has split panes. Look in menu View -> Layout.

As a Textmate'r, I have to say using ST for the last few months has been a pleasure.

There is one thing that ST doesn't do as well though: pasting blocks of code while retaining the formatting/indentation. i.e. if I copy a loop and try and paste it into another function/whatever and the cursor isn't on the same column, the indentation gets messed up.

It's a minor quibble and far from a deal-breaker, but it is a bit of a shock when it happens.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Nothings changed regarding to evaluation "Sublime Text 2 may be downloaded and evaluated for free, however a license must be purchased for continued use. There is currently no enforced time limit for the evaluation.".

I'd be really interested to hear about how well this model works for them. I know that I, for one, am a paying customer because being able to use it for a month or so for free really got me hooked.

I'll most likely end up being the same way. I'm slow to switch editors, but every time I hear news about SublimeText I'll launch it and get closer to just making the switch - and by extension, paying.

Compare that to the 7 day trial of Coda 2. Nowhere near enough time to evaluate an editor, let alone wait for the next bugfix if you run into any issues.

I would recommend the ruby test plugin which is really great: https://github.com/maltize/sublime-text-2-ruby-tests

and Rails Nav: https://github.com/noklesta/SublimeRailsNav which gives you a pretty neat way navigating your app. Much like the common vi plugins.

I love ST2, Vim, and iTerm. On my Mac. I just setup a global key ⌥-t to bring iTerm to front. Not ideally, but good enough for me for now.
