Sublime Text 2 has Vintage mode which supports Vim-like commands, is a native app, and is elegant.
However, HappyEdit has one significant advantage over ST2, in that it is open source. While I love ST2, I feel like for it to really be embraced as a great editor, it needs to be open source.
- krakensden 14y agoVintage mode is in a pretty ugly point in the uncanny valley.
- djacobs 14y agoI've tried using Sublime with Vintage mode, and about 30% of the time I'm editing, I try a Vim combo and nothing happens. This isn't just for advanced Vim features -- it's for basic things like g_.
- lloeki 14y agoThere's a VintageEx bundle that extends Vintage mode with more vim-ness. It still lacks vim-surround which is a no-go for me, and there are a few differences in behavior (off-by-one mostly) that constantly throw me off.
- doesnt_know 14y agoI love Sublime and have been using it since the beginning of this year but I'm really worried about getting too "invested" in it because it isn't released under a Free Software license. My old emacs.d still sits in my home folder because I have this fear that Sublime will just stop being supported tomorrow and I would have no choice but to go back to emacs. I really just wish emacs had an amazing mixed mode, it's the only thing that even made me try out Sublime. All the php mixed modes I tried were really bad and I do a lot of work in PHP/HTML mixed view files.
