Users hack around SublimeText open bug when not addressed for years

When you the dev seems be only releasing a version every 6 months or so, what else can you do?

Sublime Text 2 and 3 have many bugs, including ones that only affect specific platforms. If you're on OS X, `import ssl` works in the Sublime console, but it throws an exception on Linux and Windows.[1] This can have far-reaching effects, like fetching of HTTPS URLs breaking.

These sorts of issues make it really hard to write stable plugins, since the only way to ensure stuff works everywhere is to manually test all six combinations: Sublime Text 2 and 3 on OS X, Linux, and Windows.
