  No blow should pass, without two blows returned: * http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SudoSave http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SudoSave * http://stackoverflow.com/questions/95631/open-a-file-with-su-sudo-inside-emacs http://stackoverflow.com/questions/95631/open-a-file-with-su... (I jest. Vim is an awesome editor and I recommend it to all my friends using Eclipse, Visual Studio, and XCode. But true enlightenment lies in Emacs, where vim is only another mode called evil: http://emacswiki.org/emacs/Evil http://emacswiki.org/emacs/Evil)

    With emacs you can use TRAMP (included by default in recent versions) with something like: C-x C-f /sudo:root@localhost:/etc/config_file

    Sorry, but there is no true enlightenment, in any text editor. Other than vim off course ;-)

  If I was willing to use vim (or emacs, nyellin) for my daily editing needs I wouldn't be comparing TextMate to Sublime and listing missing features in the latter :-) Besides, I knew about the vi trick you referenced, but it often screws up something with the terminal, causing all sorts of issues. Admittedly I didn't try it again since moving to iTerm (I'm suspecting a terminal.app issue), mainly because I have a working solution (TextMate). It's just that weren't it not for this sudo-feature, I would really prefer sublime (I bought both, by the way, in order to support their respective authors)

  Every time a textmate post comes up on HN i think of this quote. "Those who fail to understand Emacs/vi are condemned to reinvent it"
