hmm. I use Sublime Text 2 every day and I don't think it's kitschy at all. I can't even imagine why you would put the word feature in quotes. It's one of my favorite features even after using it for months. It's like having all of the benefits of a scrollbar with the addition of getting an overview of the file you're working on. When I need to scroll to a specific location in a file, my eyes flick over to the minimap and I know where I am in the file. It's subtle and unobtrusive when I don't need it so I barely notice it otherwise. I think it's a better feature than code folding and something I think all editors should offer. Anyway, to each their own. You can turn it off.
