I find it odd that Sublime is so widely loved. It seems like a way-station between Notepad and Vim/Emacs. The extensions are nice, and the GUI is easy on the eyes, but it seems that most of my peers outgrew their Sublime Text/Notepad++/Textmate stage by the time they completed their first year of undergrad. I would hate to be stuck in the slow world of Sublime Text limbo as a result of being too lazy to learn and cus…

I used Sublime for a while, then switched to Emacs for a while. I ended up switching back because, while I really liked Emacs, I didn't like being stuck in a terminal and I couldn't do effective pair programming. The best bit about Emacs is the configuration, and I could give or take the awkward keybindings. Maybe if LightTable supported configuration with ClojureScript and offered a comprehensive API for it there'd…

+1 Actually, things are stored in a few directories. It took a while to figure out where Sublime stores everything so I could write a dotfiles script for it. Having to set things up through Package Manager is a pain. Not sure why that's the first step whenever I read an article on Sublime. A simple package file script that git clones/pulls plugins is more maintainable.

I keep my ST2 package manager config stored in my dotfiles repo, so setting up a new Sublime instance is as easy as just opening ST2 for the first time and letting the package manager fetch the appropriate plugins automatically.

It only pollutes your diffs if you're using a crappy diff tool. Whatever tool you use should have full control over showing leading, trailing, consecutive, or all whitespace differences.

No, the main problem is that it screws up merges. Until Git can ignore trailing spaces as part of the merge strategy, it will be a problem when someone removes trailing spaces in one patch and someone else modifies (with real code) those same lines. If you have a largeish number of changes it will be a nightmare.

    git merge -X ignore-space-at-eol

Araxis Merge, problem solved?

I don't know it. But unless it's something that comes built into Git it's not useful. It needs to be something everyone has. That's the whole point.

What bootstraps package manager?
