Vim is just way too fast for me to leave.
1. Detect inefficiency for a particular task 2. Find a faster way to do it 3. Make it a habit

I hope this is not too off-topic in a ST thread.
Getting functional with vim takes only an afternoon.
Don't get me wrong. I love ST, and Vintage mode was what convinced me to try it. But ultimately it was far more frustrating to have only half of my muscle memory work in Vintage than it was to just learn the ST way.
{ "keys": ["k", "j"], "command": "_enter_normal_mode", "args": {"mode": "mode_insert"}, "context": [{"key": "vi_insert_mode_aware"}] }
Larry Tesler would cry if he knew of this strange vim-obsession that has been creeping up all over the interwebz.
I use Emacs and IntelliJ, both modeless editors, and I've never understood the obsession with vim, but I'll be happy if someone could enlighten me.
Right now I'm mostly using modeless interactions, but every now and then it feels good to get the vim muscles moving.
Even gvim can't get along with tmux
When working on websites you have your files like .js .html .css .php etc etc, but when working on system tools and scripts, a lot of these files lack the file extension and instead just defines the #! at the top of the file.
It doesn't even seem to be a way to manually specify that my file is of X language in the editor. According to the devs on their IRC channel, a feature like this isn't on the roadmap any time soon.
It's very unfortunate, but without this feature it's more hassle for me to work with it than with ST, or Vim.
Seriously, if anyone with enough python-foo wants to code this, I'm sending cash their way.
Edit: although the "navigate to definition" feature is quite neat
I use it every day, and the only real issue for me is that occasionally the built-in suggestions override CodeIntel's, which is kind of annoying.
One thing though, cmd-R doesn't work very well with closures, it gets a bit messy - the good thing is that you can just start typing words you know from the function's name and it will list anything relevant.
An equivalent plugin would be harder to implement in Sublime Text, because Vim has identification of “tags” (function/class names) built-in, and the Tagbar plugin just displays them. I don’t think Sublime Text’s syntax highlighting rules do any equivalent thing. So a Tagbar-like plugin might need to parse the code itself to identify tags.

=============
From the Sublime office: We are not selling to Github, we are not stopping development of Sublime. As noted by another poster, this is effectively a one man band (I'm here to answer sales questions, process your refunds and get the mail so Jon doesn't have to). The past few months of silence on the development front have been a combination of boring back end work (taxes, new payment platform) as well as a break for the man driving this whole operation. No, we don't currently have a loud internet presence, which is can be an understandable cause for concern-something we intend to address once we move into the production version of 3. There is a vision for continued growth and development, there is momentum behind Sublime Text; it is not dead, just slow.
