Awesome. I almost considered buying it. Almost.

I still can't find a good reason to switch from Vim.

I'm the same. Is it ridiculous that I bought ST just because I wanted a new toy to play with, knowing that I wouldn't switch from vim?

First "Core feature" for version 3: Speed.

I can't recall that I have ever felt that a text editor was "slow".

How is easy it is to migrate ST2 settings/packages to ST3?

Opening ST2 in windows was always very slow for me. This new version is much, much faster.

I bought it even though emacs is still my primary editor. $70 is a drop in the bucket. I keep all of my notes open in a couple different screens (grouped by project). It's really quick to navigate to buffers (Cmd-t) and search all buffers. I'm finally learning a little Python because that's how plugins are written. Sublime has pretty smart completion too.

Anyone have an org mode? I'd at least like to make urls clickable.

Any idea if it has code folding/collapse? Native or via a plugin?

Just opening was ok for me. Loading files of more than a mb or two on the other hand was just simply terrible.

Fairly good. I've been using ST3 as my primary editor for the past month or so, and I've mostly had good results. Many plugins have a python3 branch on their github, or just work outright.

Will Bond, the creator of Package Manager maintains a list of compatible packages here: https://github.com/wbond/sublime_package_control/wiki/Sublim...

It's worth checking if any essential ones will work for you before switching.

Personally, my biggest issue is that wbond's Sublime FTP doesn't work, but the overall speed increase is so great that I'm trying to make my workflow work without it.
