I suspect this time around ST will destroy everything else. To be honest I can't really think of another editor that's as portable, affluent with extensions, and easy to use.

In Poll: what's your primary editor/IDE?
I really can't wait for this to be released. I am a little pessimistic about the Vim mode. There are countless 80 or 90% complete Vim modes in various modern editors.

The progress so far looks excellent and I can't wait to try it out. Keep it up! Edit: I also notice that the logo looks like an iOS7 version of React's logo: http://facebook.github.io/react/

You might want to try Vintageous[0], It improves the native "Vintage" mode and adds things like vim-style searching and multiple cursors support. If you are addicted to NERDTree like I was, here are some custom keymapping[1] that will allow you to navigate the sidebar using the keyboard. ctrl+h ctrl+h - takes you to the sidebar where you can navigate using j, k, h, l ctrl+h - move to pane to the left ctrl+l - move to pane to the right ctrl+shift+h - move and create pane to the right ctrl+shift+l - move and create pane to the left .. and a few others 0: https://github.com/guillermooo/Vintageous/ 1: https://github.com/kylefinley/dotfiles/blob/master/sublime/U...
