This could be huge! ST2 looks pretty flexible, but so far it doesn't match what I get through TextMate or emacs with their package managers. Both have pretty straightforward package managers that let me pick from a huge list of plugins.

Glad to know that ST2 is on the way to offering similar functionality. Hopefully this will fuel even more community contributed code, which seems to be the real secret sauce of a good editor. Certainly the ST2 developer is outrageously responsive, so the situation should be ripe for contributions.

I had moved away from ST2 and back to e for a while, but I'll give ST2 another whirl.

doesn't seem to work on my win7 machine (command I am pasting in console. Unable to auto detect encoding, using fallback encoding Western (Windows 1252)

Did you restart ST2 after pasting the console command? After restarting there should be commands in the command palette that start with "Package Control." If not, go to "Preferences > Browse Packages…" and then look for a folder called "Package Control." If it is not there, there must have been a bug with the download. If it is, look in the console to see if there is a message about Package Control looking for updates.

It may be easier to use GitHub issues to follow up with this: https://github.com/wbond/sublime_package_control/issues.

seems to be working fine, I update my ST2 fairly often and was under impression that I use latest version.

I am really happy with progress so far and enjoying using it. Since I otherwise use vim, this is pretty big thing :) FYI

Why isn't this at the top of the front page yet?
