An excellent point. My solution to this would be (ironically) to add one feature to Sublime: Grouped Packages. Simply put, the idea would be to define a set of plugins needed (or recommended) for certain types of development. So you'd install Sublime, and then have a handy popup asking if you want to install any of the suggested Grouped Packages. There might be a dozen or so that are commonly useful for a Rails developer, another group that's useful for C, or for Wordpress, or whatever. That would allow for a minimal text editor, the infinite possibilities of plugins, and also easy onboarding for new users. It would also be useful for advanced users who are getting started in a new field.
