Sublime Text 2 Build 2139 Released

Why is this news worth getting published for every update?

Have been using Sublime for 4 months or so and really enjoying it. It strikes the perfect balance between having enough nice features and tools to make programmer happy and getting to much in your face (like many IDE's).

The Vintage package (vi editing for Sublime Text 2) is now also on GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/sublimehq/Vintage" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/sublimehq/Vintage</a>

I didn't know (until now) Sublime Text.<p>I don't want to seem inquisitive, but it looks a lot like VIM. I thought it was VIM, or a <i>human-friendly</i> version of it.<p>I took a look to <a href="http://www.sublimetext.com/features" rel="nofollow">http://www.sublimetext.com/features</a> and many of the features listed are available on a vanilla VIM. Many, if not all, except "Asynchronous file loading, so you're never blocked when loading files off slow network drives", "WinSCP integration for editing remote files via SCP and FTP" (OK, maybe you can have the last one using sshfs).<p>[edited, I've removed "Commenting and uncommenting blocks of text" from the features vim does not have.]

I went to Sublime Text because now I can have one great text editor where everything I learn applies to my Mac (home) and Windows (work) environment.

Sublime Text 2 is a fantastic product, their updates are timely, and it's been my goto editor for months now. Thanks for the hard work guys!

Went Sublime Text 2 over the summer and haven't looked back at Text Mate since. Supposedly we are going to have Text Mate 2 by Christmas though, and then I imagine I'm going to have a tough decision to make.

I take heed when so many people are fans of something but after trying it out I feel like I'm missing out on what makes this editor so awesome.<p>Can someone explain to me why this is better than Textmate, MacVim or UltraEdit?

I'm using Sublime Text 2 because it's obviously the new hotness in the valley.<p>I was at a g2g and everyone was coding in ST2. The social stigmatism of not using the new hotness is enough to get a lot of people to conform or be an obviously bad developer.<p>tl;dr Code editors have more mindshare than _actually getting stuff done_.<p>This same phenomenon is why I use a MacBook Pro (though admittedly, the MBP is peerless, unlike TEXT EDITORS).

Does anyone know how to tweak the windowing behaviour so that it doesn't open up all your previous windows (or group the new file in the same window as your other project)? Other than the lack of usable options, it's pretty nice!

For some reason on OS X Lion (Sublime v. 2136 &#38; 2139) tabs do not show up for me unless I go to the bottom right and click Spaces: 4&#62; Convert Tabs to spaces. Then only the current window's tab is shown.<p>This is smooth and runs pretty fast, but back to text mate for me, I need to see the tabs, see what I have open. Textmate has a nasty 'refresh project on focus' situation that kills working over a network (remate2 fixes that), but Sublime seems to work well over a network.

Sweet! It gets better and better.<p>The sidebar keyboard navigation is a big one for me that's been missing. And the folding arrows will help. I don't know why you'd want them to fade but nice that it's up to you.

This update adds find and replace in files - the biggest missing feature IMHO. Refactoring without it was cumbersome.<p>It also adds code folding, which isn't my cup of tea but has been widely requested.

Would've been cooler if it had integration with gocode.

only wish it had some emacs key bindings

Awesomest text editor ever. (It makes me happy.)

i miss tipical alt+key combinations in windows whem i'm replacing or finding text strings
