Shell-Turtlestein

1) I find it easy to use split windows in ST (Cmd+Alt+2). I mostly use a fixed 2 column view though, Vim provides much more dynamic window management options. But I really can't work comfortably on large projects where I have multiple buffers open on multiple windows and stuff. I could not get used to Vim's "each tab is a workspace" approach. I like my tabs to be buffers. 2, 3) Nowhere near Vim's terminal integration, but you can use https://github.com/misfo/Shell-Turtlestein plugin to run arbitrary shell commands. It can even pipe in the current buffer and pipe the output into the buffer. There are plugins for common stuff like ssh or git but you are right while working on vim, context switches are cheaper. Not with ST. As an example, I used subl as my default editor in shell, for a while. Git would fire up an ST window for commit messag

You can init Sublime (and open/edit files) from the command line relatively easily[1] and there's a plugin that will allow you run shell commands from within Sublime Text[2]. 1: http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/osx_command_line.html 2: https://github.com/misfo/Shell-Turtlestein (or from Package Control) EDIT: Ahh I see you edited, nevermind! But you can split the windows easily too!
