The Vintage package (vi editing for Sublime Text 2) is now also on GitHub: https://github.com/sublimehq/Vintage

I really enjoy this feature. Instead of installing 5-10 plugins to make vim look like Sublime Text, it just takes a few steps to make Sublime Text work like vim. And it's cross-platform to boot!

This update adds find and replace in files - the biggest missing feature IMHO. Refactoring without it was cumbersome.

It also adds code folding, which isn't my cup of tea but has been widely requested.

I take heed when so many people are fans of something but after trying it out I feel like I'm missing out on what makes this editor so awesome. Can someone explain to me why this is better than Textmate, MacVim or UltraEdit?

For one, the mini-map feature. I believe it was fairly unique a few years ago, don't know if it still is.

mini-map should be turned off by default.

What a kitschy "feature"

It's basically the same thing as textmate, only actively updated and with some extra features.

For me, the main advantage over textmate is split-screen layout.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I've also tried to adopt it last month but I found it very unproductive without file and folder manipulation.

What do you mean? You can rename files/folders with sublime text 2. I myself started seriously using it a month back for some PHP dev (in before the hate) and I'm loving it. This editor is amazing.

You can't move files between folders.

For some reason on OS X Lion (Sublime v. 2136 & 2139) tabs do not show up for me unless I go to the bottom right and click Spaces: 4> Convert Tabs to spaces. Then only the current window's tab is shown.

This is smooth and runs pretty fast, but back to text mate for me, I need to see the tabs, see what I have open. Textmate has a nasty 'refresh project on focus' situation that kills working over a network (remate2 fixes that), but Sublime seems to work well over a network.

Nice! Anyone have any recommendations on effectively customizing key bindings with Vintage? Or customizing Vintage in general?

I've tried customizing a few keys as documented at http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/vintage.html but they're currently getting overwritten with every Sublime update.

Why is this news worth getting published for every update?

Well, I didn't know about sublime before, and so far I'm into my first hour of usage. I've been looking for the perfect code editor for years. Always settled. Until an hour ago I was using Eclipse (with pydev), Gedit for very big files, and vim occasionally. This news item actually might get me closer to working with a single code editor. Its absolutely fantastic so far and very fast. Well done.

I'm not on Lion, but even on Snow Leopard, Sublime will only show a tab for a file if you double click the file in the sidebar, or edit the file (which Convert Tabs to Spaces is doing). Though there might be a Lion specific issue aside from this.
