Doesn't the new auto complete and the plug-in SublimeCodeIntel do the same thing? One of my concerns is that say you are using a plug-in for a feature that is later implemented into Sublime, now you haven't read the what's new so you have no idea. What happens then?

What I really miss in all these fast small editors is the quick-jump features that actually analyze the code and let me do things like 1) Jump the the function/method definition (even if it's in a different file) when I press Ctrl and click on the function name. Eclipse does this. 2) Quick find of the function/method definition across the whole project. Eclipse does this as well (Ctrl + R). I don't use Eclipse that m…

I think you are looking for the CodeIntel plugin. It takes a few minutes to index large projects, but after that, it's really fast and Alt + Click will take you to the definition of things. I switched completely from TextMate. Take a look: https://github.com/Kronuz/SublimeCodeIntel

    Supports all the languages Komodo Editor supports for
    Code Intelligence (CIX, CodeIntel2):
    
    PHP, Python, RHTML, JavaScript, Smarty, Mason, Node.js,
    XBL, Tcl, HTML, HTML5, TemplateToolkit, XUL, Django, 
    Perl, Ruby, Python3.
Where's C? Where's C++? Where's Java? That's disappointing.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Well, that would really take a lot of work, to make it good. There's some commented-out logic in the 'official' Cappuccino plugin for ST, that takes into account the scope and then works backwards to try to figure out what type of object you are messaging. https://github.com/aparajita/Cappuccino-Sublime But I think the reason that's commented out is that it is easy to get some parts working, but to do it right you ne…

The reason that I ask is that I feel I am getting stuck with C# simply due to the comfort of Intellisense. I have to find some way of replicating that experience with other languages... I know other languages of course, but it just feels like a hassle to code without Intellisense these days :p

If you have dynamically typed languages in mind, give it a try without completion, you might be surprised - different paradigm depreciates completion quite a bit.

Favourite Option: When you close the editor, it just shuts down, saving all your buffers and restoring them when you reload. That means you can close the app, reboot your computer, whatever, and the edits you've been making aren't lost, and you aren't bugged for filenames. Definitely a 'why don't all apps work like this?' feature.

This is the default behavior of document based apps on OS X starting with Lion. For instance: TextEdit behaves this way.

If you use vim be sure to check out the Ex mode package: https://github.com/SublimeText/VintageEx

Vintage mode is a killer feature for people (like me) who are wired for Vim's modal editing. The fact that it works reasonably well (somes bugs here and there but it's an alpha so understandable) is what made me even consider Sublime in the first place.

Now, after having been using Vim for about 8 years now, after a few weeks of trying Sublime, I'm pretty much ready to pony up for SublimeText 2 whenever the final version is released.

Yeah, if you've been extensively using Lion for document editing, this may not seem like a big deal anymore, but in Sublime it works just as well on Windows too.

Yeah, Vintage mode is really nice... but I just found this Ex package today as I didn't realize it existed. Without :s I was pretty lost in Sublime, but not now!

My favorite feature: a dedication from the developer to fix bugs even on Linuxes they aren't personally running (Arch Linux in this case). http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=447...

Nice debugging! Definitely worth a read.

Is this just me but no-one seem to talk about it. How can I get the Sidebar to have a similar color scheme with my main theme? I like the default Monokai but the Sidebar is light. The Soda theme & Color Scheme was nice but the new UI improvement in the IDE is so good to sacrifice it for Soda.

Is this controlled by the color scheme itself? I'm running Solarized Dark, and the sidebar does have the same scheme as the editing window.
