This is great news. Truly staggering amount of effort for a small gap in build numbers (if you were using the last beta). Love the release and the editor. Worth every penny. The only additional package I use is the Dark Soda Theme, is there any others that people would recommend for Rails development? The default editor seems to provide a lot. I tried SublimeCodeIntel but it kept crashing.
I just tried Sublime 2 and I must admit I don't "get it." It seems like a basic editor with several features which Notepad++ already had. Specifically for programming I cannot see why you would use this as opposed to something like Visual Studio with its context aware auto-complete (massive productivity increase). But then again I also don't get why someone would use Vim or Emacs when you have GUI based tools availab…
An absolutely joyful piece of software. I love it so much, I bought it right away. Plus, where else can you experience such a pleasant multiplatform situation? Great Job!
Question: I'm an Emacs user, and haven't checked out ST or ST2. Is it comparable in terms of flexibility++?
ST seemed to be going in the right direction, but it was nowhere near as complete as even an uncustomized workaday Emacs clone.
[speaking with 30+ years of Emacs, and as a user of many, many other editors in environments that didn't support Emacs: ST seemed to be like using VMS's EDT -- a fairly capable editor, but not one I'd bring home to Mom]

* No CTRL+D duplicate line in VS
* Can't use middle-mouse in VS to select multiple columns
* Can't place your cursor in many multiple locations at once in VS
* You can use ALT+DRAG to select columns in VS but there's no way to put a carat at the end of each of a bunch of lines of varying sizes
* CTRL+J to append the next line to the current one, removing all whitespace. I feel as if this has saved me a year of life.
Those five alone are extremely useful when writing JavaScript and HTML.
* The autocomplete in VS does not "learn" like the sublime text one does.
* No good incremental search in VS (might have changed on the very newest version?)
* CTRL+B opens the current HTML page being edited in my browser on sublime text. There's probably an equivalent in VS though
* highlighting a string of text highlights all similar ones in sublime text. In VS for C# it sorta does this if the string of text is a token
* The ability to sort and shuffle lines in sublime text can be useful at times, though this is usually when preparing data and not when writing code.

You'd get it if you did.

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…

emacs lives on every server I have to work on.
emacs works with every language I have to use for work, including C/C++, Fortran, LaTeX, Python, Shell, and every language I like to play around with, including Haskell, Clojure, and Common Lisp.
I switch between tasks often enough that the fact emacs can do all of them (and doesn't crash all the time like Eclipse...) is great.
