Well, I didn't know about sublime before, and so far I'm into my first hour of usage. I've been looking for the perfect code editor for years. Always settled. Until an hour ago I was using Eclipse (with pydev), Gedit for very big files, and vim occasionally. This news item actually might get me closer to working with a single code editor. Its absolutely fantastic so far and very fast.
Well done.
If anyone is like me, they try it out, decided it isn't ready for daily usage, and then forget about it. This replaces "Check for Updates" :-)
It's not really newsworthy though. I could see a release being posted to HN if it contained a huge new feature set but from what I can see this is just normal update ?
I upvote Sublime because its mindshare deserves to catch up with TextMate / BBEdit.
I just thought the same thing seeing this post on frontpage and the feedback request submission I made less than one hour ago about my new startup asaclock being flagged from #6 on frontpage to 3rd (now 4th) page without a (IMHO) good reason.
