I, for one, am astonished at quality and release frequency Jon Skinner (the author of Sublime Text 2) has been able to achieve. Perhaps he has help, but that doesn't appear to be the case. He has made steady, incremental, and visible progress that keeps giving people reasons to buy his product.

Here's to hoping he figures out how to make the configuration a little easier for non-programmer types to deal with.

I checked it out a few months ago, and it looked awesome, but it was missing too many basic features (like right clicking a folder to create a new file or showing the current file in the file tree) so I went back to TM. I just took another look last week and literally every single issue I used to have with it has been fixed. The pace of development is amazing. I had no problem parting with my $59.

You've piqued my curiosity. (and exposed my seemingly limited imagination) What are you using a text editor like sublime for other than coding?

All general editing. Blog posts, notes, etc. I stick to a regular text editor for all editing.
