Sounds like the guy behind the project is quite responsive, and doing a good job for a good price, but I'm just way too attached to having open source tools for my work.
For the first time I am seriously considering whether to replace Emacs as my primary text editor on Linux. I've been compulsively using Emacs for the past 5 years. Thanks to Emacs I felt in love with (a dialect of) Lisp and experienced the freedom brought by a truly programmable text editor. An enlighting experience. About a couple of weeks ago I began using Sublime Text 2 and... wow, it gets so many things right and…
Still, Emacs is my bus factor backup plan. I prefer ST2 today, but it's nice knowing there's a pretty darn excellent fallback if it disappears for some reason.
My main objective with Sublime is to master the keyboard shortcuts. Stuff like (on the PC) Ctrl+D to select the current word, and repeat for next occurrences. This starts up a multiple-selection that you can just type and all selected occurrences are replaced. I forked a GitHub Gist from others and tweaked it a bit, for reference to useful shortcuts: https://gist.github.com/1736542
That reference is super useful. If you're on a Mac you can substitue Ctrl for cmd.
Be aware that the download page is aggressively cached. I was downloading Build 2165 and wondering why I wasn't seeing the new icon.

On Windows you can't do much better, all the paid text editors are crap (Textpad anyone?), and Notepad++'s plugin system falls short of Sublime's (hot installation vs. restarting). As usual another fantastic build.
Oi, that is a rough looking icon. There is a severe lack of contrast. The one from this article http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/tools-and-tips/sublime-tex... is worlds better.
