#34I do not understand why people code on a dark background. I get the CRT retro aesthetic, but it is less readable on modern screens. Reflections on glossy displays become a problem. When was the last time you saw a website with a black background? I can't tell if people coding on dark backgrounds are hipsters, or just don't know any better.

It's less tiresome for your eyes, eventually your eyes will demand you to use dark color schemes.

#36Earlier quoted context omitted.
I don't really know that this is true. Sublime is a zillion times faster than Atom, and brackets isn't something that enters into the same league as either. I don't see how open-sourcing will help it.
Sublime Text appears to be developed by someone who actively shuns his users, though.

#37Wait, I thought it's not possible to style the sidebar in ST (or at least not much)? I was searching for a plugin that would show Git status in my sidebar (as Atom does) but everywhere I looked people were saying it's not possible because of this limitation in ST. Looks very good btw.

#40Would love this for Ultraedit && Notepad++. PEople would probably pay at least a dollar for this.
I've ported it to Iterm and Zsh ( https://github.com/wesbos/Cobalt2-iterm ) as well as Atom ( https://github.com/wesbos/Cobalt2-atom ). If anyone wants to port to another editor, I'd be happy to let you use the name.
