As 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…

Well, given a sufficiently advanced code parsing module, I'd consider Sublime Text an IDE. It's just that CodeIntel might not be sufficiently advanced enough (for your language of choice or in general). It's a port from the Komodo editor, where it doesn't work perfectly, either. I don't see anything really fundamental that should stop an improved/better plugin from working, the hooks should be there.

I started writing the same thing, and thought I'd just add onto this instead. Tried using Vim because I like the look of how flexible it is to tile windows, but I just cannot move away from Sublime's file search. I don't even click tabs that I have open any more, I just hit Apple + p and start typing say g-l-o for global.css and I know its there, hit enter and voila. Like you say, multi-platform too, so I get to use…

Command-T gives you similar functionality in Vim. It's great. https://github.com/wincent/Command-T

I've found Command-T slows way down on large trees, causing a very noticeable interruption in my "flow" when I use it. Also, it's written in ruby which can be a bit more painful to get started with if your distro doesn't compile ruby support into vim by default.

ST2 is a fantastic program! I was a die-hard Komodo user for years, but ST2 is much easier (and faster!) to use and extend.

For anyone looking to try out ST2 with SFTP, I've written a plugin to import server settings from FileZilla[1], makes it much quicker to get up and running. Should be in ST2's Package Control any day now.

For those interested, here's a way to get a block cursor when in Vi(ntage) mode. It can now be installed via package control (instructions have recommended that way to install for awhile, but I could never find it). https://github.com/netpro2k/SublimeBlockCursor

I modified this a while back to work in normal mode, for anyone who's interested.

It was the one feature in Sublime that was missing for me, and the one I needed most at the time (cataracts suck).

Am 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)

I believe licensing restrictions require its purchase for commercial purposes. Edit: Strike that. Nothing in their EULA expresses this. It simply seems like an open-ended "trial period." So, yes, it appears they're sticking to the guilt model, but unlike WinRAR, won't bug you about it.

>unlike WinRAR, won't bug you about it.

They do bug you (albeit less frequently). As mentioned in another post here, they ask you to pay occasionally when you try to save.

Based 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)?

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

Actually, it will, every n number of saves. When I create a throwaway VM, it's a reminder to paste in my license key ;).

Nothings changed regarding to evaluation "Sublime Text 2 may be downloaded and evaluated for free, however a license must be purchased for continued use. There is currently no enforced time limit for the evaluation.".

I'd be really interested to hear about how well this model works for them. I know that I, for one, am a paying customer because being able to use it for a month or so for free really got me hooked.

I used it for free for a long time (longer than I care to admit) but by the time I did pay, I was so in love I would have happily spent 2x on it.

I was an active user of Notepad++, but ever since I started using Sublime text, I never turned back to NP++ (or any other editors). Totally love the Sublime experience.

I've been using Notepad++ as my log-viewing problem for a while and I periodically use it to edit a bit, but when I tried out Sublime I didn't see anything to make me drop Notepad++. It did the same things equally well, but not much more from what I noticed.
