I know most of the people using ST2 are apple or linux users.
It's good for a windows user?

Re: Sublime Text 2.0 Released
#112Based on the great reviews of ST2, I switched from vim to ST2 (with vintage mode) a few months ago. It seems good... but it hasn't lived up to the reviews for me. I'm guessing I'm missing some of the functionality. Is there a tutorial anywhere to show me what I'm missing? How have you learned about ST2 features (rather than just repeating your old editing habits in a new program)?
I did too but couldn't live with the way search worked in Sublime. Substitutions are also too ingrained for editing. In my opinion Sublime is vastly superior to an IDE but way underpowered to compete with vim or emacs.

That one made me laugh!

#113Am I missing something or is this essentially a donation based model? Are there missing features in the "evaluation version"? I don't mean to sound like a troll or anything but why would I pay for this if I have the option to use the full product for free? (besides possibly feeling guilty)
If the product is good, as in this case, a very sizable percentage of users will pay. The idea that people will only pay for software/music/movies if there are adequate technical restrictions placed on its distribution is what got us into the DRM mess in the first place.

#114I just tried Sublime 2 and I must admit I don't "get it." It seems like a basic editor with several features which Notepad++ already had. Specifically for programming I cannot see why you would use this as opposed to something like Visual Studio with its context aware auto-complete (massive productivity increase). But then again I also don't get why someone would use Vim or Emacs when you have GUI based tools availab…
I used sublime text and my interns all use visual studio. I love both, but I can give a few points: * No CTRL+D duplicate line in VS * Can't use middle-mouse in VS to select multiple columns * Can't place your cursor in many multiple locations at once in VS * You can use ALT+DRAG to select columns in VS but there's no way to put a carat at the end of each of a bunch of lines of varying sizes * CTRL+J to append the ne…
Oh, you're comparing ST2 to VS without R#.
* Ctrl + D does copy lines
* you can place the cursor at multiple places since VS 2010
* Extensive search with R# (Search files, classes, methods... * using CamelCase, fuzzy..)
* sort shuffle lines, methods or any blocks with R#.
So ok, it's R#, and I agree that ST2 is amazing out of the box. (LOVE it for the Rails side project I work on) but adding R# (or standalone add-ins) to visual studio will get you there too.
Navigation within a .NET solution will always be better with VS + R# in my opinion.

#115As an Intellij user (and Emacs way before that) I'm trying to give this a chance, but I see no way to click-navigate through source code. Am I missing something? I tried installing SublimeCodeIntel, and that lets me (occasionally) navigate to symbols in the current file. But I don't seem to be able to click through to symbols defined in other files/classes. Am I missing something fundamental, or is this strictly the…
Why do you want to use your mouse while coding?

#116Amazing editor. Switching been OSX and Windows frequently, ST2 became my choice of a universal tool. Especially useful when augmented by plugins for better autocomplete: I use SublimeClang for C++/ObjC coding, and https://github.com/alienhard/SublimeAllAutocomplete for js/html/css to enable ST's autocomplete across all opened files, not just current one. Only wish it would support virtual space, multiple cursors/vertical blocks seem awkward without it.

#117An absolutely joyful piece of software. I love it so much, I bought it right away. Plus, where else can you experience such a pleasant multiplatform situation? Great Job!
I like it too. The main problem I have with it—and Textmate—is the lack of an emacs-like Follow-mode: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Fol... . It's 2012, I'm using a 27" monitor, and yet I can't find this feature, or one like it, in anything other than emacs, which has a learning curve far too steep for my pretty simple needs. At one point, the Textmate website mentioned that a follow-mode-li…
Honestly I've always looked at follow mode as mostly a cute toy. It's too distracting to use while editing, and in my single-screen environment I always want a shell beside my editor anyway. Surely the proper solution to this problem in 2012 is to buy another monitor and flip it on it's side, no?

#118Make sure to check out this packages search/list: http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/community
You can also Command+Shift+P and "Discover packages"

I am happy with it as a Windows user. From what I can tell it runs nearly the same across all platforms it supports.

There are several problems with sublime especially as an IDE, for 60 bucks I don't see how I can justify not having: A decent linter. Auto-complete is really shabby. Find and search, also sub-par. No separate console window. Though it does have some good parts. Map view Speed Multi-select
Good sir are you sure we're talking about the same sublime? As in sublime 2?
There's brilliant plugins for decent linter & auto-complete; If you didn't install package manager you didn't spend enough time with sublime.
Stating find & search is sub-par in my opinion means you must have honestly spent less than a day utilizing the program.
Search:
Ctrl+P
Ctrl+shift+p
ctrl+f
ctrl+shift+f
ctrl+shift+f alt+r (Supports regex)
ctrl+h
Separate console window? As in you can't remove it from the sublime window? Else ctrl+`
