The vintage (vim-like) mode is what pulled me into sublime text as my go-to editor. It's just so much faster. I opened the textmate alpha and immediately had a bunch of j characters appear before I realized i don't think I can go back. It's either ST or vim for now…

Try Vico. Textmate bundles and vim editing.

  I did (but admittedly not for long). It didn't have the same level of polish. Has this changed? I can already use TM bundles on Sublime Text, but it just felt more feature complete.

    I personally find it much more polished than Sublime Text. It's not quite TextMate yet, but close.

    It's more polished now than it was. It's still in its nascent stages, but it's improving on a roughly monthly basis, in a definite excellent direction. The vi approach seems to be at its core, which is notable as new features are being implemented. And it's scriptable in Nu, which is pretty sweet and gives you access to all of Cocoa.

      Thanks for the response. Will definitely have a second look, now that I have an idea of what to expect. Competition is definitely good in this space… especially now that the trend includes TextMate bundles & themes so it's not too hard to maintain a similar environment.

  Thanks for the tip I'll need to take a look at this!

One of the huge reasons I switched to Sublime Text 2 in the first place. I like vim but I hate having to manage all of these plugins and configurations just to get things like folder views. That said its not perfect and I do miss the old vim from time to time.

I wrote this for TextMate. Not nearly as good as built-in support, but I program 10 hours a day with it and it's saved me millions of keystrokes. https://github.com/philc/textmatevim https://github.com/philc/textmatevim

I've been using Emacs with Evil mode (vim emulation). I'm also addicted to vim's bindings.
