It was only yesterday that I thought about using animated GIFs for demoing code typing. That's what I liked most about this post!
One of the things I like most about Sublime is that it just works right out of the box. Sure almost everyone uses a plugin or two, but to me it's the editor that doesn't need blog posts about how to configure it, it doesn't require you to keep a git repository of your thousand-line configuration, it doesn't require an understanding of esoteric key commands to get started. To me, Sublime is an editor for people who do…
I would personally imagine something a bit like Sublime, but where all the "plugins" were actually just code contributed to the central codebase, and delivered by updates. (Specifically, I'm imagining it would work like Cloudflare's https://github.com/cdnjs/cdnjs for plugins.)
Given that the editor would then have "everything" in-the-box, it'd then probably have to have emacs-like modes, as well, to allow all the plugins' various key-bindings to live together.
* GitGutter: Adds symbols beside the line # on modified lines. A feature widespread in other editors with Git integration. I haven't found a plugin to mark modified files in the sidebar (which is also another common feature). - https://github.com/jisaacks/GitGutter
* Missing Palette Commands: Adds a few commands like setting the indentation for the specific file only. You can see a full list in the link. - https://github.com/fjl/Sublime-Missing-Palette-Commands/blob...
* Open Folder: Open up the selected folder in explorer/etc.
* Terminal: Open the selected folder in the terminal. - http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/terminal

It's half-way there. It could go a lot further. I'm really surprised there isn't a single (featureful) editor that follows the OSX/GNOME aesthetic of "convention over configuration; no preferences/options/modes if possible". Key-bindings are the same everywhere you go. Every command is available on every instance of the editor on everyone's machine, everywhere in the world. You never have to re-learn anything; you ca…
To me, one of the largest benefits of ST is having a very powerful editor which is fast, simple, and very usable, and wouldn't want to see the core become much heavier than it already is (although I'm loving the code navigation functionality coming in ST3).
Quite long, but definitely worth it. Not affiliated with whoever did it.

I really enjoy working with ST2 and I would be super happy if there was a faster workflow for file / folder creation. I would really like to see something that helps me Cmd-Shift-P and type "New Folder" or "New File", type the name and be able to do tab-completion in it (and thus also map it to some keystrokes).
