#42My first piece of advice is to set up a command line alias for Sublime... Sublime ships w/ a command-line executable: /usr/bin/subl
or you just get the PPA https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/sublime-text-2

They accept textmate formatted schemes so there are many out there already that you can use.

#46Earlier quoted context omitted.
Uh, two space indentation in Python? Consistency is valuable. Everyone else who writes Python uses four spaces. http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#indentation
This is a great reason to use tabs over spaces.
It wouldn't matter when people don't adhere to standards anyway.

#47Kind of awesome seeing him mention one of my plug-ins I created to scratch a simple itch (Auto Semi-colon). Definitely motivated me to work on the slight improvements I wanted to implement.

#48Sublime team by default need to advertise Packages and just how much you can customize the thing. You'd be amazed just how powerful this thing can be - once you get the hang of it, the shortcuts and some basic packages. My favorite ones are Zen Coding (now deprecared in favor of Emmet) and SublimeERB when working with ERB - the front-end dev in me cries of joy when using them :-)
I agree I recently installed Emmet and it has vastly improved my life (front-end dev)

#49This is the real lesson of this article:
"As a craftsmen it is important to understand and use our tools properly. Just as a painter needs to use the best paint and brushes - and understand how to use them - a developer should understand and use the best software tools available. For me, Sublime Text is the highest-quality brush available."
Great stuff, thanks!
