Glad to see a new build! It's been a while. I actually bought a Sublime license in March 2013 and kind of got the feeling that the momentum for Sublime had gone away a few months later.

I've been using Atom for a couple of months now and really like it, except it is very slow for things like searching an entire folder for a word or having 50 active cursors.

What are some other editors similar to Sublime/Atom with good plugins and active community?

I used Sublime for a few months. I decided to switch to gvim and I don't plan to go back. I was able to configure it in a way it's very comfortable to me and I don't miss any feature from Sublime or any of the plugins I used, like jshint integration. This is also hopefully the last editor switch I'll ever need to make.

If you're on a Mac, TextMate is still going strong and that's what I use. If you are on Windows I would like to know the answer too.

Thanks. I'll give it a try, as I do use OSX at work :-)

Outside of work, I'm on Ubuntu though. Any suggestions that work on Linux would be appreciated too.
