Sublime Text 3 - Build 3059 released

Significant changes are adding image previews, tab scrolling, and a personal pet peeve - windows are now closed if you drag the last tab away.

Is it a pet peeve that they close, or that they don't close? While I could totally see the justification for both, I'll be secretly cheering about the fact that they close now because that has driven me slightly crazy in the past

Sorry, the pet peeve was that it didn't close. It just left an empty window. This update fixes that and I'm really pleased about it.

Vintage: A block caret is now used

Yeah, finally :-)

Also be sure to check out the dev channel: http://www.sublimetext.com/3dev

More frequent releases, and quite stable.

You do need a Sublime text 2 license though.

Any clue on when will the final version come out?

anyone herd of vim - MILES away better AND it doesn't annoy you to REGISTER ERYtime you wanna hack

if you're not cool enough use Geany again MILES away better than this wanna-be

yawn

yep that's how they get ya, yawn - they [Sublime] are OVERRATED! - i just don't get it! - why go through all the "registration" CRAP when there are infinity options out there - comeon' - MOVE ON ppl!

Really though, what matches the multiple cursor behavior that sublime does. Can you truly do that in something else? If so, please point in that direction.

Multiple cursors is by no means exclusive to Sublime, the functionality is available for vim[1] and emacs[2].

The best editor is always the one you use to get shit done, but if you're interested in a (relatively long) talk on the power of vim I'd point you Ben Orenstein's "expert-level vim"[3].

thank you!

I've spent 3 months using Vim exclusively, and ~4 months with Emacs. They both have their strengths, but the multi cursor plugins for both are vastly inferior to Sublime.

Vim and Emacs both represent a significant investment of time. They have a lot of difficult to remember commands, and require a lot of configuration to get something usable. Sublime Text is drop-dead simple, and is very usable right out of the box. I've switched entirely to Emacs, and I'm happy with the change, but I spend 90% of my time writing code. The equation is going to be different for a front-end developer who spends most of their time in Photoshop, etc.

>but the multi cursor plugins for both are vastly inferior to Sublime.

Sorry, what exactly is missing in the vim implementation?

God forbid a developer should get paid for his hard work. Outrageous.

am not one of those guys - i just HATE the idea that you have to "pay" to get a piece of mind - that's their "market plan" right?

Pathetic attempt make people use another editor. There's a difference between making a suggestion to use another editor than just blabbering about how great X editor is better than Y editor.
