Will this be available for ST 3 too or are there any incompatibilities stopping it from working on ST 3?
I've just tested GitCommitMsg in ST3 and the only problem seems to be the print function. I'll fix this up and send a PR. Scratch that. There are a couple of API changes I believe, but I should be able to fix these too. Edit: I can't even get the command to work for me.
Disclaimer: I love ST and use it everyday and this is not against this plugin in particular, just the idea of extending your editor to be an IDE. When people extend their text editor (be it sublime, vim, emacs) with all these (often outdated) plugins i am left wondering why there is still so much hate for IDEs ? I use IDEs from Jetbrains for most of my stuff and they do all these things oob with a consistent UI and a…
Extensible editors like Sublime, vim and emacs, amongst others, let you program them easily. As a programmer this is useful. This plugin is maybe 30 lines of code. With 1,988 packages and 1,436 authors(in Sublime's case) they turn into customised IDE's that 2.15 million package users are using. If there is a bug, you can submit a patch, or fork a plugin - and people do. This means plugins can be fixed quickly and eas…
I also hardly no anyone that works with C#, Java or Objective-C without an IDE, because you lose a lot of productivity. I enjoy working with ST in JS/php and other dynamic languages though where intellisense etc does not matter too much.

Yeah that sounds sweet in theory. In practice i would first have to learn python and get into the ST api before i could build my own plugin or fix existing ones, so that would probably take some time that i dont have. And while there are lots of plugins i found quite a few areas (C# for example) where plugins are there, but haven't been updated in a long time and don't work for certain aspects of the language etc. Yo…

Still going to fix it up?
I was about to push my changes even though the command doesn't work for me.

Both are useful because they're universal for all languages, simple, quick, and pretty much are guaranteed to have a high base-line level of quality. vim is also useful because it's available on virtually every Unix machine, meaning I can use it on remote machines I've ssh'd into.
With these editors, I also think there's a certain pleasure in starting from a mostly blank slate and installing only the plugins you're personally interested in. The result feels less bloated because it's optimized for precisely one person: you.

Anyone have a screenshot of what this looks like in action?
It doesn't seem to exist anymore: https://sublime.wbond.net/search/GitCommitMsg or in package control. Will install it manually, seems a great trick!
In fact it is hasn't yet been accepted: https://github.com/wbond/package_control_channel/pull/2800

In statically typed languages, that's often a tradeoff I'm happy to make; IDEs give you a lot more information than text editors in that case. But in a dynamically typed language, where I'll need to run the program to find errors anyway, the lag is just a nuisance.
As I've primarily worked in dynamic languages for the last several years, I've had no desire to put up with IDE lag for minimal gain.
