Sublime Text 2

I’ve been looking for something better than TextMate for a long time.  MacVim is OK, but it’s not Mac enough yet.  Kod is looking good, but it’s still not ready yet.

Sublime Text 2 Alpha steps in today…

I just checked out the new Sublime Text 2 Alpha text editor.  It has some pretty nice features started.  Here’s my good/bad list:

Good:

  • Loads really fast
  • Long lines don’t lockup the system
  • Auto-remove trailing whitespace
  • Line numbers don’t scroll off the screen when scrolling sideways

Bad:

  • Preferences don’t work (maybe I’m doing it wrong)
  • UI Color scheme is really bad

Conclusion:  It’s not ready for me to use yet.  I’ll stick with TextMate.
