Does anyone have any idea what's the reason Sublime don't support for code folding by default?

Primary reason: It's in beta.

Code folding is on the roadmap (http://sublimetext.userecho.com/topic/19281-syntax-code-fold...). Personally I don't miss it. I think it's probably just not a high priority.

I do this too. How do you manage switching between open buffers, or closing one without closing the others? I don't have a good solution for the first, and for the latter I find I have to close nerdtree for :bw to work as expected.

You realize that commandT also comes with a 'commandB' command that allows you to navigate open buffers?

hmm, just tried B, :commandB, and :CommandB and none worked :/

I am using Janus, so maybe it overwrites this.

use :ls to list the open buffers. Then use :b to switch between buffers.

cool, this is close to what I'd been doing but much faster -- I was typing out :buffer

There are a lot of features / useful things that are actually in Sublime but just in a preference toggle where you have to look it up. http://sublimetext.info/docs/en/reference/settings.html An example would be "trim_trailing_white_space_on_save": true, (very useful) Anybody else have any preferences that they use a lot that aren't obvious?

save on lost focus or something like that ... I tend to write some code, save the file then refresh my browser ... now I can just skip that intermediate step, because it saves the file for me as soon as I leave the window.

I also love the fact that I can click through files, without opening new tabs to see them.

Would really love it if the sidebar would highlight whatever file you're working on in the folders section as well as the files section

They may not be mastered equally. For example, I find myself using vim to edit files on servers, because setting up emacs to my taste is always a bit of a pain. (I do know about TRAMP.)

I feel very comfortable in both of them. If Vim had ido, vc and slime, it would be the clear winner (because of RSI). I don't write Vimscript thought.

You can always go the other way get Vim commands in Emacs with Vimpulse.

Sublime Text is awesome! Even though it's still in beta and missing lots of features, I still bought a license for it last week. As a Mac user, text editors are a pain in the ass. When you're booted into OSX, you wish you had access to your Windows-only text editors. When you're booted into Windows, you wish you had access to your OSX-only text editors. Running Parallels just to edit text is over kill. ST solves this…

As a VIM user I find that amusing, people that use editors other than Emacs and VIM are very disloyal to their editors, I've been using VIM for years, and I'm not switching to another one... Just out of the curiosity, what editor do you use on Windows? PRO Tip: Pick an open source editor, so it's always updated (ejem TextMate).

I used to be a sublime user and I switched over to vim. Now I'm in a weird position where I use Sublime for the ability to instantly find anything and go anywhere in my project and I use vim just for editing.

On a side note, Sublime has excellent project navigation functionality.

I think that is also due to a form of lock-in.

Emacs and Vim are so different from anything else, and you invest so much time customizing and tailoring them to your use that in the end they are actually your own editor, not Emacs or Vim anymore.

Other editors instead are usually based on the same general idea and interaction, so switching and trying different ones is easier.

I've been trying to use Sublime for a while now but really disliked the dark skin (even with theme changed). I just installed: https://github.com/buymeasoda/soda-theme/ and am in love -- definitely going to be switching over.

Wow, this is nice! Even the dark theme is an improvement over the default.

The dark theme is nice. I quite often use Sublime in full screen mode, because I need a large font size to see the text, and use the blackboard theme to repvent eye strain. Having the bright sidebar on the left was always a distraction (while distraction free mode, of course, meant no sidebar).

I see that it's using Cairo Graphics (do strings on the executable), but there is no LICENSE file anywhere.

I'm also interrested in using commercial-wise, but not sure whether I can (it's using GPL or MPL 1.1 - and I'm not much familiar with MPL).
