I bought Sublime as soon as I accidentally hit cmd-R and realized what it was showing me. ;)

What does cmd-R do?

Helps you jump to functions, methods. I love it when developing on large CSS files (and/or Sass files).

I've been using it more and more, but still use Coda for larger projects just so I can use the code navigator to get my head around the larger code base. I haven't seen anything like that for sublime yet...

I'm a Coda to Sublime convert. Try Coda on larger files and it will drag you. Yes, I would love to have a navigator like Coda. However, it's a matter of perspective, try "CMD + p" and you'll love it. (I'm guessing it should correspond to "Ctrl + p".

i tried hard to like sublime but at the end, i still go back to the trusty old zend studio 5.5. and i love emacs and it's great for editing scripts here and there but when working on a big project where you have atleast 10 files open, it's not really the best way to do things.

Could you elaborate?

I find it hard to work on projects where I have many files open, unless I am using Emacs (with ido-mode). Tabs are just too slow, cumbersome and don't scale.

Have any TextMate users out there tried Sublime? I'd love to hear a comparison.

Much better than TextMate. Faster, actually actively developed. Just cmd-t and cmd-p makes it worth the switch.

shift-cmd-t is 'Goto Symbol' in TextMate, pretty much what cmd-r does in Sublime.

ST2 handles this much like ido-mode. Press cmd-P to open the "Goto Anything" dialog and type a few letters from a filename to get a list of matching files from the current project. I'm not exactly sure of the weighting algorithm, but it seems to almost always highlight files that are already open so that pressing enter will take me directly to the tab I wanted.

Whether you have 100 Emacs buffers open or 100 ST2 tabs, it's pretty easy to navigate to the one you want with a few keystrokes.

I'm using ST2 for CoffeeScript/js development, and Visual Studio with ReSharper for backend C# development. The difference is night and day -- it feels like ST2 is designed with the sole goal of helping me write code as fast as possible with as little friction as possible. I used to wish that Visual Studio supported tmbundles, now I'm trying to figure out how to fit a C# development process into ST2.

Please keep us posted if you make progress on the C# front. I also like quite a bit ST2 but I don't think it could replace VS for now

Textmate has this same feature to, I think it's called "Go to symbol." That said, I used Textmate and I love Sublime so much better.
